About Us!
Girls Rock Michiana is a program of The Music Village, in collaboration with The St. Joseph County Public Library and University of Notre Dame Professor Mary Kearney. The program was established at The Music Village in 2018 and had 32 participants in its first year. Since 2018, GRM has collaborated with many different local musicians, artists, and speakers to give students the ultimate rockstar summer camp experience! The program continues to grow thanks to the help of our wonderful community supporters, including dozens of volunteers, TMV instructors, and professional musicians.
