Young Audiences of Louisiana (YALA) is a mid-sized nonprofit organization based in New Orleans, founded in 1962 to bring chamber musicians into local classrooms. It has evolved into a leading provider of arts education and integrated arts programs in Louisiana, drawing on the region’s cultural strengths to support children's learning through art.

It offers a range of services, including school performances, arts-integrated residencies, extended learning programs, community workshops, and professional development for teachers and teaching artists. YALA is part of the national network of 32 Young Audiences Arts for Learning affiliates, which serves more than 5 million schoolchildren annually. It is the Louisiana affiliate of The Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts, providing arts-based teaching strategies for young children. In January 2024, YALA launched the History Education Arts Responsive Training (HEART) program at Young Audiences Charter Schools' Burmaster and Crocker campuses.
