Our Mission

Nonprofit dedicated to fostering creative expression, positive self-esteem and community awareness for girls, women, gender expansive, and transgender youth and adults through social justice and music education, activism, and performance. By encouraging creativity, confidence, and collaboration in a supportive environment, we strive to empower people to challenge preconceived notions of what they can do, become, and to be engaged members of our communities. We believe it is crucial that all people have access to equipment, education, and community regardless of age, socio-economic background, religion, race, gender identity, sexuality or ethnicity.
