The Center for Social Action Through Music was created by the FESNOJIV and financed by the National Housing Institute of Venezuela and the Inter-American Development Bank for the purpose of developing music academic programs and training courses for orchestral conductors, performers and music professionals; promoting our music, orchestras and virtuous musicians internationally; fostering academic, musical and artistic exchanges with other countries; carrying out education, rescue and rehabilitation programs for children and youngsters, especially those who are at-risk or have special needs or disabilities; and promoting artistic integration so children learn how to interact within an artistic environment through dance, theater, opera, etc.

There is a wide range of different rehearsal rooms: for a single musician and a professor (single rehearsal rooms); for two or three musicians and a professor (double rehearsal rooms); piano rehearsal rooms; section rehearsal rooms for strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussions; and many general rehearsal rooms, so each instrumental section has a space designed for its specific requirements.
