Mission

Capital Rowing Club (CRC) is committed to bringing rowing opportunities and excellence in rowing to the diverse community of the Anacostia River and the larger Washington, DC area. CRC is a volunteer-directed, non-profit, educational organization offering rowing instruction for people of all ages, income, and levels of physical ability. CRC offers the benefits of recreational and competitive rowing–dedication, teamwork, fitness, knowledge of water safety, and the appreciation for the Anacostia River as a valuable natural and recreational resource—to everyone.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Capital Rowing Club (CRC) recognizes the value of building a culture of inclusion, and one where every member feels welcomed, respected, valued, and part of a rowing community. CRC values individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, religion, socio economic status, physical disabilities, or other differences.

We recognize that promoting diversity and inclusion requires intentional, ongoing action and as such building DEI is an ongoing learning journey. We are committed to fostering inclusion through various programs and volunteer activities, building a culture where everyone feels connected, supported, and respected regardless of their background identity. Differences make CRC stronger.
