Mission Statement

WYRA’s mission is to promote physical, mental, and social wellness in young people of all backgrounds, using the sport of rowing and related educational programs to instill essential lifelong values including physical fitness, responsibility, self-discipline, teamwork, leadership, commitment, and the pursuit of excellence.

WYRA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that introduces sport of rowing to youth ages 11-18 through a complete series of after-school competitive programs and in our summer Rowing 101 and ROW FOR IT! camps. WYRA is a nationally recognized club, and our competitive crews race locally, regionally, and nationally against schools and other club programs.
