Girls Rock!

GIRLS ROCK! IOWA CITY is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization dedicated to fostering creativity and self-esteem through musical instruction and expression. Through our programming, we offer female, trans and non-binary youth ages 8-14 an opportunity to gain technical and musical skills that enable them to express their ideas with the support of a community that values their unique perspective. By providing this programming, we hope to start a conversation that challenges assumptions about what young people can do and become. Our week-long day camp allows campers to form bands and write an original song. At the end of camp, bands perform their original songs at our showcase, an event that is open to the public. Songs are then recorded in the studio at the United Action for Youth, and recordings are made available to campers and the public.
