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.

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.
