We’re getting louder every year!

• 32 girls attended our second annual, week-long Girls Rock Camp

• We awarded $4,100 in needs-based scholarships to campers who wouldn’t have otherwise been able to afford camp

• 16 women attended our three-day Ladies Rock Camp, which raised $1,650 for Girls Rock Camp scholarships

• In partnership with the Providence After School Alliance (PASA), we expanded our Girls Get Loud afterschool program to serve 31 girls in Providence Public Schools

• We conducted 8 Rock Labs for girls and women, where musicians of all skill levels could experiment, socialize, share ideas and create music

We moved our organization forward.

• Acquired 501(c)3 status from the IRS and became an independent nonprofit

• Hired a part-time executive director

• Recruited 10 amazing new board members

We did a lot of fun stuff!

• Organized and presented MADONNARAMA, which featured 13 acts and their unique interpretations of the Material Girl’s greatest hits, supporting GRR!

• Worked with Roots Café/Mosaic Bistro to present an all-ages performance with jazz artist Eva Cortes

• Collaborated with the Manton Avenue Project on I’m with the Band, a musical composed and scripted by young people
