Introducing young people to the sport of rowing since 1984.
Transforming young lives through sport and team building.
We invite all youth to rise up through rowing.
Through physical activity, community development, and team building, we inspire more individuals to embrace their full potential on and off the water.
Everyone deserves a team. One that will challenge them, change them, and lead them to strive for excellence. The George Pocock Rowing Foundation aligns underserved youth with the opportunity to find their team and transform their lives through the sport of rowing and the values of athleticism.
