Our Nonprofit Organization

Who We Are

We are a 100+ member, all-volunteer organization united by a shared love for rowing, community, and the transformative power of being on the water. Every program, event, and initiative is run by dedicated volunteers — including every board member, program coordinator, and coxswain.

Our members generously give their time, energy, and heart to support and operate:

A Race Training Program for those seeking challenge and performance
A vibrant Youth Rowing Program that nurtures skill, teamwork, and confidence
Our annual Regatta, a celebration of community and competition
A hands-on Boatbuilding Program that connects tradition with craft
Outreach Programs that invite youth and communities historically underrepresented in rowing to experience the water and discover their strength
ROW (Recovery on the Water), a supportive rowing program for individuals whose lives have been touched by cancer

We also train our own coxswains, who then volunteer their time to guide and support approximately 15 rows per week during our active 6-month season.

At the heart of our organization is a deep commitment to inclusion, access, and the belief that rowing — and community — should be for everyone.
