USRowing Volunteer Policy

Click here for the USRowing Volunteer Policy for USRowing-owned domestic events. 

Overview

Volunteers are a critical component of all regattas. Our sport’s sustainability and success rely heavily on these dedicated supporters, who help ensure that our rowers, teams, coaches, spectators, and more have a safe, fair, and rewarding experience.

The purpose of this policy is to provide additional volunteer support at USRowing-owned regattas to Local Organizing Committees (LOCs), who increasingly struggle to source, secure, and train sufficient volunteers.USRowing’s new volunteer policy will assist LOCs by providing them with informed volunteers who already plan to attend a USRowing-owned regatta.USRowing welcomes spectators, team parents, siblings, family members, friends, coaches, athletes, and more to volunteer at our regattas. Thank you in advance for your partnership in support of our sport’s future!

For every USRowing-owned regatta,with the exception of high performance regattas, every registered team will be required to provide at least one (1) volunteer to work one (1) 4-6 hour shift during the regatta.
