Since 2003, YEAH! has succeeded in providing a safe learning environment for teens that empowers them not only in the arts but in life skills, volunteerism, and community service. The organization creates programming, such as Southern Girls Rock Camp and Tennessee Teens Rock Camp, that values collaboration over competition and seeks to give youth the tools they need to create the world in which they want to live.

“In a world where we’re often hard-pressed to find more than a handful of women on a festival roster, on awards show stages, in the bylines of a music magazine or on the radio, it’s more important than ever to create an environment like Southern Girls Rock Camp,” says Marissa R. Moss, who recently a legislation-inspiring piece on women in country radio for Rolling Stone Country. “An environment where girls feel empowered to pursue their dreams in music – and one where skill, practice and passion matters most, not their gender.”
