A team building program at CRI puts the buzzwords that are often associated with the makings of a strong team into action: collaboration, trust, support, effort, care, overcoming adversity, resilience, communication.

Community Rowing, Inc. is delighted to host your special event this year.

New and experienced rowers alike are welcome to our annual Women's Row for the chance to connect, meet new friends, and row out on the Charles. 

Countless women have had access to rowing, thanks to the early pioneers of our sport, and the mission-driven programs of Community Rowing, Inc. We share a passion for rowing, a drive for excellence, and a desire to encourage those just getting their start. This is the network you are part of. This is Grace, Grit and Glory.

YETI (Youth Erg Trials International) is the hallmark event for CRI's middle school and high school indoor rowing program! CRI serves over 60 middle schools, high schools and over 5,000 kids annually - YETI is the culminating event for these young athletes to race for individual success and school pride.

We are disappointed to share that YETI 2022 has been canceled. At the time of the decision, the weather forecast held a chance of rain over 75%, with ½ an inch of rainfall expected each hour, and a high below 60°F. While the erg relay was indoors, half of YETI’s participants would have been engaged in activities outdoors. For these reasons, it was necessary to cancel the event for the safety and enjoyment of everyone.

We look forward to YETI’s return in Spring 2023 and in the meantime, will continue our Let’s Row programming in Boston Public Middle and High Schools. YETI t-shirts will still be given to participants who registered for this year’s event, and we are working with our caterer and local food distribution partners to donate pre-ordered lunches to help those in need. If you have any questions, please contact Javier Suarez at This email address is being protected from spambots.
