Girls Rock! Rochester, Inc.(GR!R) is a non-profit music and mentoring organization dedicated to using music creation and performance as tools for cultivating self confidence in girls and trans youth. We foster creativity while building a supportive community of peers and mentors, to help girls develop life and leadership skills that will effect positive social change.
At GR!R, we provide a community driven response that is dedicated to identifying and deconstructing gender-based oppression while addressing the ways it manifests itself in female socialized and/or identified youth: behaviors such as competitiveness, self-doubt, and negative self-image. We use supportive, multi-generational, peer mentoring model. This model works to create a space that encourages the fearless expression, artistic experimentation, thoughtful analysis, and imaginative action of our participants. We believe in gender self-determination and our programs are open to all girls and LGBTQ+ youth.
