Step 1: Create an account or login to your existing account at USRowing and sign up for membership for this calendar year. Select the Membership Level called Volunteer (Non-athletes only)-Free. Note, non-athlete in this context means non-rower! The UVRF club code is '4FWDQ'.

Completing this training for another sport qualifies for this requirement. If you are creating your SafeSport account for the first time, please select Enrollment Key on the landing page. When prompted, enter the following key: NGBUSR-RFKt8f. This will affiliate you with our governing body USRowing and offer the course at no cost.

Step 3: Email a photo of your CDC vaccination card to vaccination.uvrf@gmail.com if you haven't already done this in 2021 (or email to discuss an alternate method of verification).
