About Me

Girls Rock Denver is a project of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center, and contributions to CNDC for the benefit of Girls Rock Denver are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.Girls Rock Denver is an all-volunteer organization and will host Colorado’s first nonprofit rock camp for girls in July 2009.At its core, Girls Rock Denver’s goal is to empower girls through music. One reason we are starting the camp is to provide a forum for the kind of encouragement and positive relationships with girls of our own age and older women that was lacking when we were growing up. Although girls can take private music lessons or attend a different rock camp, there is currently no local music program designed specifically for girls and run entirely by women. We believe that learning to write original music in a supportive, all-female space can be an incredibly empowering experience.We will consider our program to be successful if girls leave the camp session with a greater sense of confidence in their abilities to try new things and knowing that music belongs to everyone. We believe that many of these girls will leave camp with the ability and desire to promote collaboration and creativity in other facets of their lives and communities.To get involved please email us at [email protected] and visit us at www.girlsrockdenver.org.
