Our Vision for 2025
You asked, and we have answers from our team about the future of Row New York in 2025 and beyond.
How we see our mission statement reflected in our daily work:
“We’re redefining education to be not just school; but something that happens on and off the water and is actually the experience that a young person has that’s preparing them for the trajectory of life that they most want.”
– Brigid Ahern, CEO
How we support students on the water and in the classroom:
“I see student athletes’ work ethic improving. Being self motivated, driven. I love how they hold each other accountable both through actions and through words.”
-Purple Norris, Student Support & Success Coordinator – Manhattan
Our goals in 2025 and beyond:
“I want our participants to leave our program feeling like there is a world out there that is ready for them to experience.”
– Jackson Davis, Community Adaptive and Senior Coach
How we support the future ambitions of our student-athletes:
“We take every student as they come in and we look at them and we meet them where they’re at so success isn’t going to look the same for every student but success is possible for every student”
– Isra Khaled, Senior Manager, Alumni & College Success
How we encourage the growth of our student-athletes:
“We’re going to teach you strategies on how to deal with things and how to get better and we’re going to give you the feedback you need for it to be of value.”
– Isa Rahman, Queens Head Coach
