Chicas Rockeras South East Los Angeles

Summer Camp: An annual summer day camp where trans and gender expansive youth and girls ages 8-17 amplify their talents through music, mentorship, and social justice to empower themselves and their communities. In one week, campers form bands, write an original song, and perform live at a local music venue in Southeast Los Angeles. Throughout the week, campers participate in various workshops such as designing and screen-printing camper band t-shirts, songwriting, self-defense, zine-making, image and identity, recording, media literacy, and more! At lunch, a guest artist/band will perform and campers will have the opportunity to ask questions. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided. We also provide all instruments and supplies.

Other Programing: We hosted a prom for and by LGBTQIA+ youth and allies to get together and have some fun. The event included free food, resources, live music, and dancing. We also hosted a workshop series where youth were able to use lyricism to connect their emotions to feelings they had about the environment.

Lxs Sobrinxs: A mentorship program for trans and gender expansive youth and girls ages 14-17 to gain leadership skills while involving themselves in organizing CRSELA events.
