Our Team
Girls Rock Michiana is a program of The Music Village, in collaboration with The University of Notre Dame's Gender Studies Program and students in a community-based learning class. We are grateful for a host of community supporters, including dozens of volunteers, TMV instructors, and professional musicians. If you are interested in supporting Girls Rock Michiana financially, or by volunteering your time, please contact us! We’d be happy to plug you into an amplified experience serving girls in our community.
Our team of enthusiastic committee members, instructors and volunteers is growing - check back for updates!
