The Fundraising Coordinator will help Girls Rock Cincinnati reach our annual fundraising goals. Funds raised will go towards providing scholarships to youth enrolled in camp, providing stipends to Camp staff, and purchasing musical instruments and art supplies for Camp programming.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys building new connections, is excited to share their passions with others, and wants to provide arts education opportunities to teens and young people!
