Girls Rock NC is a youth-centered organization dedicated to building community and power among girls, transgender youth, and gender expansive youth through musical collaboration, political education for social change, and creative expression.
Girls Rock NC is most importantly a mentorship organization, and we strive to provide excellent and supportive role models for all of our campers.
We invite individuals who self-identify as women, trans, gender-nonconforming, or gender-variant to apply for direct roles at rock camp! This includes band managing, camp counseling, performing, and workshop instruction.
Additionally, we welcome and greatly value individuals of any gender identity to volunteer in more indirect ways! These roles include but are not limited to: child care, gear hauling, gear repair, design, promotion, flyering, fundraising, event-planning, and more.
Girls Rock NC is an LGBTQI-inclusive and affirming organization, and we are committed to providing a safer and inclusive environment for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and support, and are always interested in an ongoing conversation about gender!
The National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) was founded in 1935 by Mary McLeod Bethune, child of slave parents, distinguished educator and government consultant. Mrs. Bethune saw the need for harnessing the power and extending the leadership of African American women through a national organization.
NCNW is an "organization of organizations" and serves as a clearing house for the activities of women. From the beginning, women of all racial and cultural backgrounds were included and welcomed to work together. Mrs. Bethune described "... the need for a united organization of women to open doors for our young women, united so that when it speaks, its power will be felt.
The National Council of Negro Women is an organization that promotes unity amongst black women. Through our creative and unique programs we attempt to demisify all negativity and we embrace each other as women... we are in the process of "Recreating Creating the Woman..."
Mission of NCNW:
The National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) is a council of national African American women’s organizations and community-based sections. Founded in 1935, the NCNW mission is to lead, develop, and advocate for women of African descent as they support their families and communities. NCNW fulfills this purpose through research, advocacy, and national and community-based services and programs on issues of health, education, and economic empowerment in the United States and Africa.

The National Women’s History Alliance formerly, the National Women’s History Project, is a leader in promoting Women’s History and is committed to the goals of education, empowerment, equality, and inclusion.
In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was founded in Santa Rosa, California by Molly Murphy MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett, and Bette Morgan to broadcast women’s historical achievements.
The NWHP started by leading a coalition that successfully lobbied Congress to designate March as National Women’s History Month, now celebrated across the land. Since, the beginning, the project has established the theme for women’s history each year and provided resources and materials for education and celebration of the women honored.
In 2018, the project transitioned to the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) to better support the study and celebration of women’s history all year long. The NWHA continues to employ the collaborative spirit of the original project and works with women’s history organizations throughout the country to ensure that the incredible contributions of women are remembered and celebrated.
Today, NWHA is known nationally as the only clearinghouse providing information and training in multicultural women’s history for educators, community organizations, and parents-for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of women contributions to U. S. history.

The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University is one of the world’s leading centers for interdisciplinary research and exploration.
We bring students, scholars, artists, and practitioners together to pursue curiosity-driven research, expand human understanding, and grapple with questions that demand insight from across disciplines.The Institute’s work is shaped by its history as the former Radcliffe College—a school founded to ensure that the standard of education embodied in Harvard was accessible to women, who were then excluded from the University. Radcliffe’s defining commitment to women and the study of gender endures in the Institute’s programs and the world-class collections of its Schlesinger Library. But the legacy of Radcliffe College is not simply coeducation at Harvard; it is the recognition that universities will always be greater when they draw wisdom and talent from the widest possible pool. This principle has guided Radcliffe’s work for nearly a century and a half. Among the many distinguished schools of Harvard, the Institute is unique: interdisciplinary by design and animated by a legacy of promoting inclusion.Repro Legal Helpline https://reprolegalhelpline.org

A person’s right to an abortion is protected by the United States Constitution, but many laws and policies keep people from accessing abortion care they want or need. We work to change these laws and policies, with a focus on protecting and lifting up the rights and dignity of the people who are most impacted.
The Repro Legal Helpline is a free, confidential helpline where you can get legal information or advice about self-managed abortion, young people's access to abortion or judicial bypass, and referrals to local resources.
We are not a resource on abortion pills, we cannot provide information about where to buy pills, how to buy them, or how to take them. We also cannot help with tracking or receiving pill shipments.
