About Girls Rock! Iowa City

GIRLS ROCK! IOWA CITY is a non-profit community organization dedicated to fostering creativity and self-esteem through musical instruction and expression. Through our programming, we offer all female, trans and nonbinary 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. In addition to working independently, Girls Rock! works to integrate its programming with other non-profits and businesses in Iowa City in order to create a sense of community that upholds and celebrates the work of young artists. By providing this programming, we hope to start a conversation that challenges assumptions about what young people can do and can 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 and attracted more than 200 people in 2019. Songs are then recorded in the studio at the United Action for Youth, and recordings are made available to campers and the public. All Girls Rock! Iowa City programming is open to female, trans and nonbinary youth ages 8-14. Our tuition is based on on a sliding-scale, and is pay-what-you-can; the majority of campers attend our week-long camp at a reduced rate, with 20% of our campers attending for free in 2019. No musical experience is necessary to attend, and most campers are beginners. Any needed instruments and equipment are provided during camp.
