About Me

Girls Rock! Chicago is a 501(c)(3) non-for profit organization dedicated to fostering girls’ creative expression, positive self-esteem and community awareness through rock music. Through our week-long summer camp for girls ages 9-16, 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 learn about or participate in rock music and are less likely to be given access to musical instruction or equipment.to donate, volunteer or get involved, visit our website at www.girlsrockchicago.org
