AWL VETERAN LEADERS
At AWL, we understand the unique challenges and strengths of our nation’s military Veterans with disabilities. Using top of the line equipment tailored to the individual needs of the athletes, we help build camaraderie and bolster confidence in Vets through rowing, both indoor and on the water. The AWL Veteran Leaders program is coached by Vets and upholds the standards set by the military. From ensuring things are ‘dress right dress’ to never leaving a buddy behind, AWL Veteran Leaders have your back.
AWL’s Veteran Leaders program is supported by Freedom Rows, which is a USRowing initiative partially funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It is an adaptive sports grant program to provide opportunities for veterans to improve their independence, well-being, and quality of life through adaptive sports.
