North Star is a nonprofit rowing organization that has both a youth and adaptive rowing program. Our youth program combines rowing and academic support for middle school and high school youth from under-resourced communities in the Twin Cities. Here’s a two-minute video featuring our youth program: http://www.fox9.com/news/285608777-video
With school starting soon, we are planning and starting to recruit now for our fall season of rowing, so I wanted to circle back with you to pick up our talks about the NAZ and North Star Community Rowing collaborating or partnering in some way to allow your NAZ Scholars to be a part of our rowing team!
