Building a supportive community through music since 2010

Music education is only one piece of the GRCB mission. At GRCB, music education and performance provide an interactive, hands-on approach to teaching abstract skills like confidence and persistence. By providing opportunities to build musical skills, find and trust their voices, forge positive relationships with peers and mentors, and uncover their potential, GRCB’s programs have transformed the lives of over 600 of Boston area youth since 2010. What the youth accomplish musically in a 5-day period is remarkable on its own, but the impact of participating in GRCB goes beyond simply receiving music education. We use music and performance as a vehicle to eradicate limiting myths about gender in our society. We create a space where youth are encouraged to sing out, speak up, and make a lot of noise. As one of the few organizations providing creative/musical opportunities focusing on the empowerment and community building of girls, transgender and gender non-conforming youth, GRCB fills an important niche in Greater Boston.
