United We Row

A Seat in the Boat for Everyone

USRowing’s United We Row initiative focuses on supporting rowing programs, coaches, athletes, and anyone interested in advancing the sport of rowing to grow their programs.  It represents the power of rowing to bridge divides, unite athletes across differences, and push the community forward. 

United We Row is the commitment by the USRowing team to make rowing a place where the rowing community feels a sense of belonging and valued as unique individuals – across all teams including membership, competition, learning & development, high performance, and safeguarding.  

United We Row includes training and education, grants and scholarships, storytelling and visibility, and community and mentorship.

We believe there is a seat in the boat for everyone to reap the vast rewards our sport offers – no matter their demographics. Making that happen takes awareness, intention, and commitment for those who want to invite people into rowing and keep them here.  

It Takes a Community

Rowing’s success depends on all of us. This vision of United We Row can be realized if we all do our part. Learn more about who is behind this work on the USRowing team and the Inclusion and Community Impact Committee.
