Dr. Colleen Clark’s Jazz Girls Day began in January 2021 at the University of South Carolina. Since then, and due to help of a few University of South Carolina internal grants, the program expanded to three Jazz Girls Days in South Carolina, covering not only the Midlands, but also Upstate and the Lowcountry. Due to the success of Jazz Girls Day in South Carolina and Clark’s JGD: Vision 2030, JAZZ GIRLS DAY is now expanding nationwide, with the goal of hosting at least one University of South Carolina Jazz Girls Day in all 50 states by 2030.

JAZZ GIRLS DAY invites and inspires girls for a day filled with learning, playing, and performing. One of the goals of the day is to help girls prepare for their All-State jazz auditions, although this is not a requirement to attend. The idea behind JAZZ GIRLS DAY is not only to welcome girls to start or continue playing jazz but also encourage music educators to encourage girls to play jazz.
