Girls+ Rock Ottawa: Our Mission, Our Impact, Our Community
At Girls+ Rock Ottawa, music is more than sound — it’s a platform for empowerment, education, and equity. We are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and supportive community where girls, women, and gender-diverse individuals can access meaningful opportunities in music — and thrive while doing it.
🌟 Our Mission
Our mission is simple but powerful:
To provide professional development opportunities, community engagement, and advocacy support for girls, women, and gender-diverse individuals — helping them gain equitable access to music careers and creative spaces.
🎶 Our Vision
We envision a world where all musicians, regardless of gender identity, have equal opportunity to pursue sustainable, fulfilling, and impactful careers in music. By bridging the gender gap in the industry, we’re building a music community that reflects the true diversity and brilliance of our society.
🎤 Our Signature Programs
We offer a range of transformative programs designed to educate, uplift, and empower.
🎸 Rock Camp for Girls+
An unforgettable week-long camp where youth aged 13–18 learn an instrument, form a band, and perform a live showcase. Rock Camp is more than a music program — it’s a confidence-building journey of self-expression and camaraderie.
“Rock Camp taught me that being unapologetically you is the most rock n’ roll thing you can do.” – Olivia S., participant
🚀 LAUNCH // GRO Artist Development
This comprehensive program supports emerging artists with the tools, mentorship, and industry training needed to build a lasting career.
“Girls+ Rock lets me explore genres I love, free of judgment, while developing skills I need to be independent.” – Roja Valentine, artist
🎧 Soundtech Workshops
Behind every great show is great tech. Our hands-on sound engineering workshops help participants understand the audio side of live performance — whether you’re running the board or rocking the mic.
💖 Community Voices
Our programs aren’t just about music — they’re about confidence, growth, and transformation.
“Rock Camp has been one of the best confidence-building experiences I’ve ever had.” – Tory S.
“The LAUNCH program preps us to be the best versions of ourselves in the industry.” – Slayverii
