Our STory
WRC is Boston dragon boat team and 501(c)(3) non-profit that formed organically in 2016. Our paddlers range from those who have never picked up a paddle before to those with 10+ years of dragon boat experience. The common thread that binds us together is our appreciation for training hard and paddling together as one crew. When we’re not practicing, you can find us having family-style meals or volunteering around the community.
OUR MISSION
To build an inclusive and supportive community for individuals to make lasting connections, and to achieve fitness through competitive dragon boat racing. All of our members, including the board and coaching staff are volunteers. Our goal is to inspire everyone, including youth, to not only lead active lives, but also become leaders in the Boston community.
JOIN US
We invite you to follow us, cheer for us, and/or join us if you’d like. No experience necessary. Just gotta have hunger and hustle. Whether you’re new to the city or you’re just looking for an extracurricular, we hope you’ll check out this Boston dragon boat team!
