What We Do

Out Loud Louisville (OLL) seeks to create a supportive community of peers and positive mentors that encourage and teach participants to be their own rock heroes, allowing them to think differently about limits that may be placed upon them by our society. Our programming provides unique opportunities that are rarely found elsewhere: we use music as a vehicle to eradicate limiting myths about gender and age; we increase access and exposure to music education and hands-on learning; and our programming encourages collaboration, leadership skills, and self-confidence.

Our Vision

We envision a world in which collaboration is valued and the strengths and perspectives of women, trans, and gender non-conforming people are celebrated and given the space to shape the broader community

Our MIssion

Out Loud Louisville empowers girls, trans (regardless of identity), and gender non-conforming youth from all backgrounds by exploring music creation in a supportive, inclusive environment. We view music as a force for change and community building and as an opportunity to develop self-confidence, self-expression, and involvement in social justice.

Out Loud Louisville is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
