GVSU Rent-a-Rower Job Request
Thank you for your interest in the Rent-a-Rower program! This program helps our athletes defray the cost of their club dues each year by putting them to work in our community. We can accomplish many different tasks for you, including but certainly not limited to yard work, painting, moving, general house work, etc. The Rent-a-Rower rate is $20 per athlete per hour.
Please fill out the form below with your preferred dates and an outline of what work you have to be done.
We will do our best to fill your preferred days and times, subject to athlete availability which can vary based on class schedule, university holidays, and other commitments. Note that due to our regatta travel schedule, there are some days during the year where we are not available:
- September 26, 2026: Annual Team Day Beach Olympics
- October 10, 2026: Michigan State Scrimmage (Lansing, MI)
- October 30-31, 2026: Music City Head Race (Nashville, TN)
- November 7, 2026: Bald Eagle Collegiate Invitational (Indianapolis, IN)
- March 6-13, 2027: Spring Break Training Camp (Clemson, SC)
- April 3, 2027: Lubbers Cup Regatta (Grand Rapids, MI)
- May 1-2, 2027: MACRA Regional Championship (Indianapolis, IN)
- May 19-23, 2027: ACRA National Championship (Oak Ridge, TN)
Through this program, our athletes will be credited with $20 towards their dues for every hour they work (though if you'd like to contribute more for great service, we certainly won't complain!) which can be paid via check made out to GVSU, with "Rowing Club" in the notes section, on completion of your job or with a credit card through the online Rent-a-Rower Payments Portal.
