Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego will hire a seasoned non-profit Executive Director, who will intentionally grow and activate our organization in innovative ways. We will branch out beyond our signature Gxrls Rock! Summer Camp and hold year-round workshops to activate multiple community venues across San Diego. And, we will aim to triple our scholarships so that girls and non-binary youth, who are most disconnected from engagement with the arts, are able to have access to and participate in quality music programming.
Organization Summary
Currently, our signature program/activity of Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego is to produce our annual week-long Gxrls Rock! Summer Camp for 50-55 girls and non-binary youth ages 8-17 during the month of June. In one week, we provide over 40 hours of direct programming. Campers receive fun and engaging music education, they form bands, write original songs, and learn an instrument. We also hold unique workshops during camp, working on a community impact project with other nonprofits. Campers are mentored by 15 inspirational professional artists, and participate in a live showcase performance at a professional venue, in front of over 250 audience members. As of 2024, Gxrls Rock! Summer Camp has created 65 youth bands, and 65 original songs have been written by our camp attendees, and we have served over 350 youth, and performed to over 2,000 family and community members. With additional capacity, we hope to provide quarterly year-round workshops (e.g., vocals, songwriting, ukulele).
