Brightest Young Things

Looking to sink your considerable talents into a volunteering opportunity as cool as the DC summer is hot? LOOK NO FURTHER:

Following in the footsteps of girls rock camps across the United States, Girls Rock! DC was founded in October 2007 by an all volunteer collective of DC Metro Area musicians, teachers, artists and community organizers. In August 2008, over 80 volunteers built upon their diverse musical backgrounds, connections to local youth and approaches to grassroots organizing to create a week-long day camp for Washington DC area girls ages 8-18. After a very successful first year, Girls Rock! DC is excited to be organizing a second camp this August 2009!

The nonprofit camp will be staffed by local teachers, musicians, and community organizers. We need volunteers leading up to camp (food and instrument donations, camper/staff recruitment, fundraising, events/benefits, PR, merch) AND during the week of camp from August 10-15 (instrument instructors, workshop facilitators, band coaches, cooks/support staff, roadies). Most positions are open to women only, however we do have a few spots for men as well.

If you are interested in volunteering, download a volunteer application from our website: http://www.girlsrockdc.org/  
Applications are due on Monday May 4.
