For over 20 years, Lake Merritt Youth Rowing has promoted diversity, equity and inclusion in the sport by welcoming and encouraging all East Bay youth. Rowing builds confidence, encourages teamwork, and teaches perseverance, all skills necessary for young people to succeed on any path. While our fees are about half as much as other youth rowing programs in the area, it is still beyond the means of many families in our city. By offering fee waivers to upwards of 60% of our participants we are better serving our community by removing barriers and exposing more Oakland kids to this transformative sport.
This is your opportunity to stand with us in support of this program and its longstanding success. LMYR is changing the future face of the sport that we love and is making it more representative of, and connected to, our diverse city. The fall session costs only $450 per student so a donation of any size makes a real and immediate impact.
Please stand with us and invest in these young people today!
