Overview of Idea

The Rock ’n’ Roll Camp for Girls, a 501(c)3 non-profit, builds girls self-esteem through music creation and performance. Providing workshops and technical training, we create leadership opportunities, cultivate a supportive community, and encourage social change and the development.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

With this grant, our organization would hire translators to make our programming accessible to girls of diverse linguistic backgrounds. We would focus on the four most common languages other than English spoken by Portland residents, Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin Chinese and Russian, and reach out to these communities by providing translated versions of our program descriptions, camp applications and release forms. Additionally, in order to reach a wider range of girls with varied musical interests, we would purchase more gear to expand our hip hop elements track.
