SheBop Young Women in Jazz
The CCJA SheBop Young Women in Jazz program was established in 2017 as a meaningful way of connecting young instrumentalists with professional female mentors. In the workshops, jam sessions, and satellite summer programs that have taken place in the years since, CCJA has helped to build a strong community of young women, women, and gender non-binary musicians across the Front Range.
