Hi! We're the Nice Shoes.
We're Mount Holyoke College's cause-based a capella group, founded in 1992! Each semester we choose a cause to sing for, and we perform in several events across the academic year. Rooted in intersectionality, we aim to use our voices to raise awareness and create a difference.
Who We Are
Nice Shoes A Capella is committed to intersectionality and creating awareness of oppression associated with race, gender, sexual orientation, class, and ability. As an organization, we focus on engagement in activism and service. We are conscious in our selection of songs to incorporate a diverse group of artists and messages. Through our music and our actions, we strive to recognize our social positions and make positive change both on campus and in our greater community. We'd love for you to join us in our mission!
Current Cause
We are currently still deciding our cause for the Spring 2026 semester, so please stay tuned for updates!
​
Last semester our chosen cause was fighting period poverty with donations to organizations such as Days for Girls and Amherst Survival Center. The Shoes were able to collect donations and host a period product drive at Benejam during the fall.
