• GR!DC Leadership

Girls Rock! DC’s leaders represent our community and keep us true to our inclusive mission.

Girls Rock! DC is made up of a Board of Directors, Youth Advisory Team, a team of awesome adults and a community of volunteers.

GR!DC’s Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors consists of eight great folks that are super devoted to Girls Rock! DC and come with skills and experience that help build capacity, but most essentially, reflect our youth and their potential.

We’re currently seeking Board members who can bring the following skills, connections, and knowledge to the team:

  • Financial management and accounting
  • Nonprofit law
  • Human resources
  • Major gifts cultivation
  • DCPS teaching and administration
  • Curriculum design and assessment
  • Disability justice and inclusion
  • Event planning

If one or more of these sounds like you, reach out to us for a chat and interview at theboard@girlsrockdc.org.

Youth Advisory Team

At GR!DC we do all we can to make sure youth voices are heard, and for that, they need to be amplified.

Our Youth Advisory Team members are teens who have participated in one or more of our leadership development programs and demonstrated exemplary leadership and drive. The Youth Advisory Team works alongside the Girls Rock! DC Board of Directors and staff to learn about how the organization operates and participate in important decision-making.
