Girls Rock St. Pete uses music to break down stereotypes and build a supportive and encouraging environment to create positive social change in our community. We provide a place where youth and volunteers alike can take creative risks, express themselves and explore their identities with people who will hold space for them in a positive way.

We announce Power Week dates in early spring. Applications will open for a month. The best way to stay up to date is to follow us on Facebook and Instagram or sign up for our newsletter.

We welcome girls, transgender youth and gender-nonconforming/ non-binary youth, and women and gender-expansive folx. If you’re unsure if that umbrella covers you or your child, just ask! We will meet you with kindness and respect. Additionally, we trust you to identify yourself/your child and do NOT require any “proof” of your gender. Power Week is open to all girls and gender-expansive youth ages 8-17. Our programming is explicitly feminist and anti-racist, with a focus on uplifting Black and brown young folks and people of non-dominant genders.

Girls and gender-expansive youth face unique challenges and oppressions in their lives due to their gender identities. We want to create a safe space for them to build confidence and leadership skills within a community that supports, uplifts and cares for people of all marginalized gender identities. Girls Rock St. Pete offers an environment that encourages participants to form strong bonds with their peers, take creative risks and explore what it is that makes them uniquely them.

Not at all! Music is for everyone, and we welcome folks of all skill levels.

Nope! While some roles like instrument instructor and band coach require some musical background, plenty of volunteer roles are open for event planners, crafty folks, counselors, nurses, graphic designers, illustrators, workshop facilitators and much more!
