Your Career in the Live Entertainment Industry Starts Here



About The Program
The SoLa Foundation has partnered with Live Nation Entertainment to train a new generation of industry professionals from South LA. The SoLa Live Accelerator Program (formerly known as the Live Nation Next Gen program) recruits 20 participants annually (Ages 16-22) to explore various career pathways in the live entertainment industry through a 6-month series that includes volunteer guest speaker engagements, mentorship from Live Nation staff, immersive field trips, and hands-on training. For their final project, participants also collaborate to produce their own culminating community event which is hosted at The SoLa Beehive at the end of the program!
