Volunteer
Wanna volunteer? You rock!
GR!C relies on volunteers to staff our weeklong summer camps, weekend-long ladies rock camps, as well as help with fund-raising and outreach efforts in the months leading up to camp. Past volunteers have done everything from work security shifts at summer music festivals to teach drums at camp to photographing our End-of-Camp Performance Extravaganza. Whatever your talent, chances are there’s a niche for you at GR!C.
There are three primary, week-long positions that volunteers fill during camp week: counselors, band coaches, and instrument teachers. Each plays a vital role and we ask that you only apply to these positions if you are serious about making a commitment to the entire week of camp.
Can’t be there all week? There are also multiple part-time positions available including hour-long workshop teachers.
All applicants must participate in a brief interview with a GR!C staff member, to be conducted in person in the months leading up to camp.

If you are interested in helping out during the rest of the year…
If you can’t commit to camp week itself, don’t worry—we still need you! Whether you can help with spreading the gospel of GR!C from behind a booth at a music festival, or just showing up to support the girls when they rock out at their End-of-Camp Performance Extravaganza, we truly value your support. We’ll also love you if can donate or procure gear (new or used); volunteer your band to play a benefit show; donate T-shirts, art supplies or other crafty gems for camp-week activities; donate your old riot grrrl CDs for our small but growing library; host a fund-raising event at your place of business; or just plain-old donate money! Not sure how to help, but know you want to? Email volunteer@girlsrockchicago.org with your quandary.
