Expanding Opportunities through Rowing

At Chicago Training Center, we believe that every young person deserves the chance to discover their potential. As a nonprofit organization, we utilize the sport of rowing not just to teach skills on the water, but also to open doors to new and inspiring opportunities. We are proud to offer our program at no cost to participants, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder any youth from anywhere in Chicago. Through teamwork, discipline, and dedication, our athletes learn valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the sport. Join us in making a difference today!
