A non-profit youth organization based in the Bronx, N.Y., named Rocking
the Boat, is empowering young people challenged by severe economic,
educational, and social conditions to develop the self-confidence to set
ambitious goals and gain the skills necessary to achieve them. Students
work together to build wooden boats, learn to sail and row, and restore
local urban waterways, revitalizing their community while creating
better lives for themselves.
