Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls Los Angeles is a social justice non-profit dedicated to empowering girls and gender-expansive youth through music.

Giving Tuesday 2020
Although quite different from a typical year of camp, the virtual format of Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls Los Angeles’ 2020 programming opened new doors and provided new perspectives.

Instead of being in a band, campers worked towards individual goals and we got to see each camper’s unique expression. Eight Music Video Program campers worked collectively to shoot one music video – entirely remotely! And we finally got to spend more time (a whole week) nerding out over audio and recording.
In the spring with an eight-week series of programming on Instagram Live and Zoom. Then in July, 54 campers participated in three weeks of virtual summer camp. Each week focused on either instrument instruction, songwriting, music video production, or recording, and included discussions on racial justice and mental health wellness, and visits from special guests joining in from different parts of the country.
