Welcome to Girls Rock Austin
We are dedicated to empowering womxn, girls, trans, and gender non-conforming individuals through music education, mentorship and self-care.
GRA firmly believes that financial, physical, and social barriers shouldn't prevent anyone from gaining the self-esteem, self-efficacy, and agency that come from creative expression. That’s why we provide scholarships and financial assistance for every single one of our programs.
GIRLS ROCK AUSTIN has evolved significantly since its inception, transitioning from a modest summer day camp to a powerful movement impacting the lives of thousands of girls each year.
With a focus on music, empowerment, and personal growth, we have expanded our programs to reach a broader audience and foster a community where girls can thrive.
Our commitment to providing a safe, inclusive environment encourages participants to express themselves creatively and build valuable skills that last a lifetime. Through workshops, performances, and mentorship opportunities, GIRLS ROCK AUSTIN continues to inspire the next generation of female leaders and musicians. As we celebrate over 15 years of growth and impact, we remain dedicated to our mission of empowering girls through music and community engagement.
Girls Rock Austin is much more than a rock camp — it is a mentorship and social justice organization. We believe that creativity, positivity, and community are key elements of personal and collective empowerment and positive social change. A significant portion of the week is dedicated to workshops where campers have facilitated discussions about topics affecting their daily lives, such as media literacy and body image. Dedicating time and safe space to these discussions bolsters campers’ support networks and underlines the importance of creative expression. Additionally, they learn more expansive aspects of independent music culture via workshops on songwriting, screen printing, recording, and the history of women in music.
