Mission

Through the discipline of rowing and rigorous academic support, Row New York transforms the lives of New Yorkers, regardless of background or ability.

Activities

Row New York’s Empowerment through Rowing and Academics (ERA) Program for high schoolers meets six days a week year-round, providing more than 1,000 hours of athletic training and comprehensive academic support annually. Each young person’s commitment to the team is rewarded with personalized coaching and tutoring that leads to improved strength, fitness, self-confidence, and academic success.

The team travels together to 10 to 15 regattas each year, and learns the values of tenacity, teamwork, and responsibility to self and others. In addition to competitive success on the water, our juniors and seniors have a keen focus on college readiness and admission, assisted every step of the way by our stellar academic team.
