Chattanooga Girls Rock was born out of a sincere belief in the transformational effect of a music education (tailored to a wide variety of learning styles, musical interests, and abilities), a commitment to fostering a more diverse and uplifting music scene in Chattanooga, and a desire to provide youth with positive adult mentors and a supportive community where they can feel free to be exactly who they are.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (100% volunteer led), and as we enter our eighth year, we have been encouraged by enthusiastic community support for our program and values.  Our social-justice based approach to programming attempts to create space for our youth to vocalize their opinions and address issues of identity, body politics, the media’s influence on their lives, and interpersonal relationships in a supportive environment, in addition to the valuable lessons about teamwork and collaboration they glean from music instruction and creating original music with other kids.

OUR VISION

All of us at CGR! look to create a world in which girls and gender expansive youth are encouraged to pursue their interests without the notion that some dreams are out of their reach, where support and teamwork replace competition and acrimony, and they are never afraid to rock with abandon!
