On her own time and with the help of She Is The Music, Kensaltown East, and her friend and collaborator Archana Gopal, Cassidy hosts a yearly songwriting camp to promote community amongst up and coming female and non binary songwriters and producers where they are provided access, tools, and connections to other creatives. The next camp will be held in March.
