Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Arts & Culture, Arts Education, Bands & Ensembles, Music

Mission: Girls Rock! Chicago is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fostering girls’ creative expression, self-esteem and community awareness through music. Through our music education programs for girls ages 8-16, we are committed to educating girls about the musical, technical, and creative aspects involved in musicianship, because we believe that young girls are rarely encouraged to explore self-expressive creative outlets and are less likely to be given access to musical and technical instruction or equipment. We believe that music can be a crucial tool in allowing young women to respond to preconceived notions of what they can do and what they can become.

GR!C is a fantastic community of folks working to empower girls & gender minority youth. I wish I had access to this kind of programming growing up! It's an encouraging environment, and an important space for local kids. I'm impressed by their commitment to making camp accessible regardless of income level by offering sliding scale tuition.

Earlier this year, I participated in the annual Lets Rock! Camp and had a blast. This really allows you live camp instead of just hearing about it . Through this, I experienced the dedication and attention GR!C gives to the participants. I left so impressed that I joined the board.
