Girls+ Rock! Pittsburgh is an empowerment program for female youths of all definitions, abilities, and backgrounds. Girls+ Rock! Pittsburgh utilizes the process of making music to instill tools for amplifying self-confidence, creative expression, independent thinking, mutual respect, and cooperation while cultivating a supportive and inclusive community of peers and mentors.

 Girls+ Rock! Pittsburgh is committed to community awareness, social agency, and fostering a network of role models for the endeavors of girls and women that promote social change among its diverse participants.

• Girls+ can play any kind of music they want.

• Creative voices of girls and women need to be amplified to create social change.

• Girls+ need positive role models and support for their creative endeavors. We can build a community where girls support each other rather than tear each other down.

• We can empower girls to recognize, understand, and respond to discrimination.
