Girls Rock! WA is a WAM initiative that aims to inspire and empower female, trans and non-binary youth through music.
The Girls Rock! program, which originated in the US and is now practised successfully around the globe, is a week-long day camp of instrumental instruction, band rehearsals, workshops, and fun activities designed to empower and inspire aspiring young female, trans, and non-binary musicians.
Girls Rock! WA was established by WAM in 2019 with support from the Contemporary Music Fund. Featuring two camps per year, the program encourages creativity, self-expression and teamwork and is designed to develop the confidence and skills of participants in a safe and nurturing environment.
The social connections have lifted my daughter up and helped her to feel comfortable in her skin, which is a beautiful thing to watch developing and the environment within Girls Rock really lends itself to making this happen for the kids.
