Girls Rock! Chicago is a nonprofit that relies on volunteers to staff our week-long summer rock camps. We need volunteers to help with our gear load-in!
Help us organize and set up our music gear at summer camp! Your contribution will set the stage for a successful camp season. This is a good opportunity for someone who wants to support GR!C, but does not have a lot of time to give. There are morning and afternoon shifts available, and we will provide breakfast/lunch. Shift times are flexible.
We will load up our truck with drum kits, guitars, basses, keyboards, amps, and other equipment, then unload and set it up at the school. This opportunity involves lifting and carrying equipment.
All genders are welcome. We are happy to provide documentation for volunteer hours. Contact Kelsey with questions: kelsey@girlsrockchicago.org

About Girls Rock! Chicago
Location:
1530 W. Superior St., Chicago, IL 60642, US
Mission Statement
Girls Rock! Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering girls’ creative expression, self-esteem and community awareness through music. Through our music education programs for girls ages 8 to 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 explore self-expressive creative outlets and are less likely to be given access to musical and technical instruction or equipment. We believe that rock music can be a crucial tool in allowing young women to respond to preconceived notions of what they can do and what they can become.
Description
Our week-long summer camp program is organized around motivating girls ages 8 to 16 through instrument instruction, music composition coaching, recording workshops, song-writing workshops, hands-on activities, technical equipment workshops, guest speakers, team-building activities and band performances. We seek to provide positive and supportive role models for campers though interaction and participation by volunteers who will share their experiences as women involved in some form of making music.
We believe in maintaining an emphasis on accessibility to ensure that girls have access to equipment and instruction regardless of their socio-economic background, race, ethnicity, or neighborhood. Our application is based on a sliding-scale tuition and no one is turned away for lack of funding.
