Core Values

ARTISTRY

CCYC is devoted to developing the artist in every singer through an organized program of musical understanding, skill development, and performance experiences. Singers explore and perform a wide range of musical repertoire representing many styles, languages, and cultures. This promotes an increased level of musical skill and expressiveness, while instilling integrity and a broader understanding of themselves and their global community. 

DEDICATED EFFORT & COMMITMENT

​CCYC values the self-discipline that results in commitment and hard work. Singers come from diverse backgrounds and with varied skill sets. Through music, singers learn that their individual level of commitment determines the extent of their personal development, as well as the growth of the ensemble.

PERSONAL &
​SOCIAL GROWTH

CCYC is committed to facilitating a program which helps build self-worth and respect for others, as well as promoting kinship among all singers and families. Through teamwork and cooperation, singers experience the joy and value of creating “something bigger than themselves” -- beautiful music that inspires themselves and their audiences throughout the Central Coast and beyond.

CCYC Statement on Cultural Equity
The Central Coast Youth Chorus stands with others for equity and justice, and in denouncing racism,
intolerance, and exclusion.  We have been on a path to identify how to build the core values of diversity,
equity, and inclusion into our non-profit’s operations, as well as model those values as we advance our
mission. We believe that embracing diversity, equity and inclusion, as organizational values, is a way to intentionally make space for positive outcomes to flourish.
