This is the announcement that Rocking the Boat has been itching to make: we’re open again!
"Opportunities like this—joining the Board of Directors of a nonprofit—just don’t come around for people like me, you know? When Rocking the Boat asked if I was interested in the position, I jumped at it."
"Once you know, it’s hard to go back. Now you have to do something," says Robertson, a high school senior and apprentice in Rocking the Boat’s Environmental Job Skills Program, who is taking part in the first ever study of microplastic contamination of the Bronx River.
Whether students are working together to row a 17-foot Whitehall to an oyster restoration station up river, to steam, clamp, and fasten a cedar plank to an oak frame, or successfully navigate a small sailboat back to the mooring in heavy wind, teamwork is a constant at Rocking the Boat.
