Chicago Youth Rowing: 20 Years Strong

Your gift powers the next generation of Chicago leaders.

For 20 years, Chicago Training Center has provided more than rowing.
We’ve created a safe, consistent, transformative space where youth from across the city discover their strength, build confidence, learn discipline, and become part of a community that believes in them.

Every stroke on the water represents a young person pushing toward their future — and your support makes that possible.

When you donate to CTC, you are investing in:

Daily practices that keep students active, supported, and connected
Experienced, caring coaches who mentor youth on and off the water
Equipment, repairs, and safety gear that ensure athletes can train with confidence
Regatta travel opportunities that expand their world and expose them to new experiences
A welcoming environment where youth find belonging, leadership, and resilience

CTC serves students who deserve access to the same opportunities, resources, and experiences as their peers across the city.
Your contribution removes barriers and opens doors.
