EMPOWER OUR YOUTH

☆ make a donation today! ☆

It’s been a rough couple years for everyone we know…and we’re no exception. For over a year, we were solely dependent on grants and individual donations to keep us going. Between fall 2019 and spring 2021, we made zero earned income from our fee-based programs like Amplify Sleep Away Camp, which typically make up 1/3 of our annual budget.

We were still serving HUNDREDS of youth around the world through FREE remote programs, as well as dozens of live performances and workshops shared online for anyone to engage with…all completely for free. Even in a rapidly changing and uncertain world, we are not done empowering our next generation of leaders.

Please stand with us as we continue to deliver programs, performances, and connections that lift up marginalized voices and build a positive youth culture in our community, in our world.


DID YOU KNOW?

Nearly all of our materials, including cameras, computers, instruments, amps, even music production software, are donated. We are infinitely grateful for any music gear, art supplies, photography equipment, and office supplies you are able to donate.

For material donations, please call us anytime: 805-699-5247

“It isn’t just about the music, it isn’t just about anything, but to me... it’s everything.

I don’t think I would be half the person I am today if it wasn’t for GRSB. I’ve been going every year since [I was 9], picking up more knowledge, more fun, more friends, more memories, and more me! Day camp, Amplify, Teen Council, Board Meetings, 2020 Internship, you name it and I’ve been! I have gained so much skill, confidence, love, and passion from Girls Rock.”

—Gracie | Camper, Intern, ACYC Member, Rock Star
