Helping Young People To Access And Experience The Life-Changing Sport Of Rowing
George Pocock Rowing Foundation (GPRF) helps young people access and experience the life-changing sport of rowing. Specifically, the nonprofit serves underrepresented populations in rowing, such as girls, people of color, and those facing socioeconomic barriers. Aligned with public school districts, parks, recreation departments, and city councils, GPRF has created innovative youth programs that improve access to rowing and empower students to make healthier lifestyle choices. In rowing, every practice demands personal accountability, self-management, and conflict resolution – skills that positively impact numerous aspects of life off the water. From indoor and outdoor rowing programs to a free 10-day camp for girls to scholarships and regional grants, GPRF builds and supports an inclusive rowing community that is accessible for all young people.
