Project Title: Girls Rock! DC 2025 Youth Summer Camps
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Girls Rock! DC works at the intersection of art and activism, providing transformative opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and rock out together. Since our founding in 2008, our unique approach to music education — through a social justice and equity lens — has equipped DC’s youth with tools to succeed and achieve their full potential. We believe (and evidence proves) that by nurturing safe spaces for young people to express themselves and develop core social skills, we build healthier, safer communities. Through our programs, youth become engaged learners, thoughtful artists, and confident community leaders. They become true rock stars.<\/p>\n
Girls Rock! DC\u2019s Summer Camps are our biggest and most popular programs: we give youth ages 8-18 life-changing opportunities to build community, express creativity, and develop key skills, all through the medium of music. Campers learn songwriting and music performance from local artist-educators. They learn leadership and citizenship from local community leaders. They practice teamwork and collaboration with their peers. In 2024, we\u2019ll serve more than 100 campers over two weeks of camps; in 2025 with your support we\u2019ll serve 150. <\/p>\n
Girls Rock! DC\u2019s Summer Camps are a unique, one-of-a-kind experience for DC youth. During a week of programming, campers learn to play electric guitar, electric bass, keys, or drums, or to sing like a superstar. They form a band, write an original song, and perform live on stage for their friends, family, and community. Our goal is to not only build young people\u2019s skills in music appreciation and performance, but more importantly build their self-confidence, their teamwork and problem-solving skills, and their ability to form healthy relationships and engage in their community. Said one camper, \u201cI have lifelong friends and mentors here. It\u2019s such a welcoming and opening space and I\u2019m so happy to be a part of it.\u201d <\/p>\n
