To foster girls’ growth, strength, and ability to take on future challenges.

G-ROW BOSTON is an innovative program that uses rowing to teach girls of all cultures, backgrounds, and abilities the importance of relationships, the benefits of exercise, and the power they have to create a positive future for themselves. Our program is based on the following principals:

•             Adolescence is a critical time in a girls’ development, and rowing in a supportive environment gives them the confidence to find their voices and discover their strengths.

•            Rowing teaches lessons that translate to life off the water: dedication, perseverance, responsibility, trust, compromise, continuous learning, hard work, courage, balance, and teamwork.

•            G-ROW’s all-girl environment offers girls the opportunity to see the strength in themselves and each other, to persevere and accomplish things on their own, and to feel comfortable in their bodies.

•            A solid academic foundation increases girls’ options for the future and helps them to make informed choices.

•       Diversity - of background and experience, approach and personality, size and physical ability, culture and interests - strengthens the team.

•            Strong relationships with positive adult role models are critical to girls’ growth.

•            Providing rowing to populations that historically have not had access to it, enriches the community and the sport of rowing as a whole.
