About SCYCA — Founding Story 

Southern California Youth Cultural Association (SCYCA) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting cultural arts education, youth development, and community engagement. Based in Irvine, California, SCYCA provides structured training and performance opportunities in traditional Chinese cultural arts, including dragon dance, lion dance, and diabolo (Chinese yo‑yo). We offer free classes, giving students the opportunity to learn cultural performing arts in a supportive and accessible environment.

SCYCA’s cultural arts programs are led by Instructor Sunny Yu, who has extensive experience teaching traditional Chinese performing arts and working with youth. Under her guidance, students develop not only artistic skills but also discipline, teamwork, leadership, and cultural identity.

The organization was founded to create a youth‑centered environment where children can grow through meaningful cultural experiences. SCYCA collaborates with families, schools, and community partners to preserve cultural heritage while empowering the next generation of young leaders.

Through performances, workshops, and community programs, SCYCA continues to strengthen cultural understanding, enrich local communities, and inspire youth to take pride in their heritage and personal growth.
