Since 1979, ROW has helped thousands of women and children move from hopelessness and poverty, to hope, safety and long-term economic security. This would not be possible without the support of our community. It has been through the support of individual donors and local foundations that we have been able to continue to provide life-changing services to families in need.

ROW is a recognized practicum site for students at Washington University, Brown School of Social work; Saint Louis University School of Social Services; and the University of Missouri, St. Louis Department of Social Work. ROW accepts both undergraduate and graduate level practicum students and interns. Students are given a full range of possible experiences.

ROW has a number of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer. Specific needs include:

• Tutoring
• Office Assistant
• Special Events
