EAST BAY ROWING CLUB

Changing lives one stroke at a time as the home of community rowing in Oakland

Statement of Support for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

At East Bay Rowing Club (EBRC), we are firmly committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered. 


We aspire to be “the home of community rowing in Oakland and the East Bay” as we foster teamwork, promote fitness, embrace joy, cherish our immersion in nature, and capture the myriad opportunities and relationships that come along with these experiences. 


In seeking to serve the diverse people of Oakland and the greater East Bay, we strive to reflect our local community, and we recognize the importance of representing the diversity of our members in everything we do—from the programs we offer to the way we engage and interact with our athletes, coaches, staff, and volunteers.


Our desire is to create a welcoming and supportive culture that prioritizes safety, security, and a strong sense of belonging for all involved. We understand that true community thrives when every person feels seen, heard, and able to fully participate, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, socio-economic status, or background. 


We are committed to actively eliminating barriers to access, fostering an environment of mutual respect, and ensuring that all individuals have equal opportunities to succeed and grow in the context of the rowing community.

We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not simply core values at EBRC, but are essential to the success, sustainability, health, and growth of our organization. By embracing these principles, we create stronger bonds within our community and help to build a more inclusive and compassionate experience for all EBRC members. 


As an organization and as individuals we are fallible and will surely stumble or get things wrong at times, but we will use these incidents as learning opportunities on our journey of continuous improvement. 


Together, we will prioritize and uphold these values, evaluating and evolving our practices, to ensure that everyone who joins us can feel safe, supported, and part of a united and welcoming community.
