adult programs

Tap into your creative wild side and make disruptive change within yourself and the world around you.

Inspired by our youth, we create programming for adults to embrace their power and use their voice. From forming a band in Lady Rockstars, the Women Rock Retreats, or Rock Roulette to expanding your social consciousness in the Feminist Book Club, we create safe space to amplify our voices and have real interactions.

Want to be a part of the fun? There's a bunch of ways you can join in! Sign up for something rad! The best part is, this community nourishes your mind and spirit. So many warm fuzzies and good vibes. We can't wait to connect with you! The proceeds we make from Adult Programming raises funds for our small but mighty organization.

because it's never too late

program & mission

At We Rock Charlotte, people learn much more than how to rock!

โ€‹

Our adult programming teaches these diverse individuals to learn, create, and collaborate through creative exploration. We provide lessons, workshops, and activities that build allyship and empower folx to tell their stories.

โ€‹

This community is a safe space for individuals to explore and affirm their identities, using positive and inclusive language across all genders, races, ethnicities, socio-economic levels, immigration statuses, abilities (physical, cognitive and mental), and more.

By uniting film education with social justice programs, We Rock Charlotte teaches participants to stand up for themselves and each other as artists, activists, and allies. 

โ€‹

We invite all womxn and gender diverse individuals to make disruptive change and rock with us!
