Our Mission

Steel City Rowing Club in Verona, Pennsylvania is a non-profit organization devoted to developing the strength and character of individuals of all backgrounds through the discipline and teamwork of rowing and through opportunities to serve others.

The SCRC is:

• A rowing club that welcomes youth and adults who want to learn to row for their health and fitness, and for the chance to experience the beauty of our rivers
• A center for high-quality coaching and intensive training for rowers, both local and national. Building on a base of novice and junior rowing, Steel City provides opportunities for rowers to participate and achieve up to and including world championship competition
• An organization that advances the ethos of community service through its members’ volunteer work
• A path to college and scholarships for dedicated young people
• A group of volunteers that is helping to develop the community and riverfront, in partnership with local government and other non-profit organizations

Our New Home
