SUMMER CAMP VOLUNTEER APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!
Girls Rock! DC is recruiting volunteers to support our 2024 Summer Camps.
Girls Rock! DC’s Summer Camp is a week-long in-person music education program for young folks ages 8 to 18 in the DC area where campers learn how to play an instrument, form a band, write an original song, and perform it at a big concert! This year there are TWO unique sessions of Camp, July 15-20, 2024, and August 5-10, 2024 held at the NPR Headquarters! Learn all about Summer Camp here!
For adults 19 and older, we have five different roles that you can play at Summer Camp: Workshop Facilitator, Instrument Instructor, Band Coach, Roadie, and Camp Counselor. All volunteers are offered a monetary gift to thank them for their time. Here’s what volunteers can do at Summer Camp:
- Teach campers to jam on electric guitar, groove on electric bass, kick it on keys, sing like a rockstar, or rock out on drums.
- Design and lead more than 40 hours of fun activities and lessons.
- Coach small groups of campers to collaboratively write original songs.
- Facilitate workshops on music, art, activism, and community.
- Support campers to put on a real live show at a DC’s famous Black Cat.
- Share their experiences and skills with the next generation of rock stars.
- Spend quality time with other rad adults.
