Raise your hand

Àgbájọ ọwọ́ la fi ń sọ̀yà. Many hands make the load light. Four ways in. Each one explains what it asks of you before you fill anything in.

Ways in

Membership

Become a member

Members carry the lessons, the festival, and each other. Dues run the year between events, when nothing is being sold and the bills still arrive.

Volunteer

One short form. You tell us when you are free and what you can do, and we place you where the gap is.

A gift is presented to the association's leaders at the opening
Partnership

Partner or sponsor

For organizations and funders. Sponsorship is what keeps Odunde open to all of Leimert Park, and what carries the lessons through the year.

  • One enquiry covers Odunde, the Gala, or both
  • Four questions. This is a conversation, not an application

Hometown associations

Nine hometown associations sit inside this community. They are the older structure underneath Omo Yorùbá: family and town networks that predate the organization in Southern California and still do much of the work of holding people together, from naming ceremonies to funerals.

You do not have to belong to one to be a member here. If you already do, say so when you join and we will connect you to the others from your town.

Give to Omo Yorùbá

Two ways to give until the online form is set up.
