The San Diego Children's Choir is a choral organization consisting of 300 boys and girls from the San Diego, California area who are of ages six to eighteen and from a variety of racial, ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. It was founded by Polly Campbell and was incorporated as a non-profit public benefit corporation in 1990. Rehearsals and performances of fine music literature form the foundation of instruction and provide the youth of San Diego opportunities for artistic and personal growth through choral music performance.
The choir currently rehearses in five locations to provide choral opportunities to youth in major areas of San Diego County: North County, Rancho Bernardo, the central San Diego area, downtown, and Lake Murray. Each branch is structured to contain multiple choir levels (preparatory, intermediate, concert), and as choristers advance, they leave their individual branch and join the Youth Choir.

“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
““If only I had a wife!” I used to think, “who could stay home and keep the children happy, why I could support six of them. A cinch.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“O thou, with dewy locks, who lookest down
Through the clear windows of the morning; turn
Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
