CTC Mission
CTC’s primary focus will be serving disadvantaged youth in Chicago and providing individuals from the greater Chicago community-rowing opportunities to enhance their athletic development and personal growth.

The Chicago Training Center’s goal is to establish a competitive rowing organization that will provide youth and their community with opportunities and experiences that will enhance their daily lives. CTC will, in a non-confrontational setting, promote personal growth through teamwork, discipline, physical fitness, and educational excellence. CTC works with the local community to provide the needed access and resources to support this mission of positively impacting families. more
