Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Use the Learn More form on the contact page to ask about a program, or sign up for an adaptive rowing volunteer training through the form on the rowing volunteer page..

What to expect

Volunteers greet athletes and sign them in, ride or row alongside them, and help set up equipment and adaptations. The 2026 rowing volunteer training sessions were listed for April 21, 22, 28 and 29, 5:30 pm to dusk, and no minimum volunteer hours are required. Participant fees are not listed on the site.

Tips for your first visit

  • The boathouse at 1233 Martin Luther King Drive has free parking and cycle access, according to the rowing page.
  • Ask through the form about the next training date, since the 2026 sessions were held in April and no 2027 dates are posted.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The rowing volunteer page says no rowing experience is needed, that training and orientation are provided for new volunteers, and that sign-up is by a linked form. Participant eligibility is in a document the page links to but does not show, so the athlete route is less clear..
