Girls Rock! Chicago is a nonprofit that relies almost entirely on volunteers to staff our week-long summer rock camps. We need volunteers to help with our gear load out. Breakfast/lunch will be provided.
Help us pack up our gear in our camp space, and take it back to storage! Your contribution will help us mark the end of a successful camp season.
We will be packing up our gear at our camp location, Suder Montessori, at 2022 W. Washington Blvd, and loading it into our truck.
We will then unload the truck at our storage space, East Bank Storage, 429 W. Ohio St.
We need lots of volunteers at each location! All genders welcome. Please email kelsey@girlsrockchicago.org with any questions or to sign up! We are happy to accommodate groups and to document volunteer hours for students.

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.
