Overview
Rocking the Boat is a non-profit which uses boats to help young people challenged by severe economic, educational, and social disadvantage develop into empowered and responsible adults. Participating during the school-day, after-school, and summer in hands-on wooden boatbuilding and on-water education programs, young people in the South Bronx develop the self-confidence to set ambitious goals and the skills needed to achieve them. The organization annually serves over 2,500 young people and community members. Kids don't just build boats at Rocking the Boat, boats build kids.
