Who do we promote alternative sports and elements of urban culture with?
Anyone who partakes in our views and values, and is willing to cooperate with us on projects that ultimately satisfy our mission.

Why do we follow our passions?
Passion is one of the strongest emotions out there, and feeling it towards an activity can often keep said activity on your mind throughout carrying out your daily tasks. Following one’s passion is a means to cope with routine-generated stress by providing something to look forward to doing once you are done with the day’s assignments.

How are we going to pursue our goals?
Through constant stride and innovation in the field of NGO-based activity and through the constant enrollment and training of teenagers who share our values and passions in order to shape them for a brighter future. How long are we going to keep fighting?
New York Crew always adapts to an ever-changing environment and to the requirements of society. We adopt the new technologies and trends set by our members, athletes and artists and improve by pushing our limits forward a little bit every day. Therefore we are in a continuous pursuit of our passions and will fight until the flame of passion is extinguished.

What do we do to pursue our passions?
We go through the ruggedness of natural environments in order to reach peak-level performance in the most secure way, all while maintaining the quality of our actions and aiding in the evolution of communities.

Where do we promote alternative sports and elements of urban culture?
Wherever there is a Crewer, there is the opportunity to launch a new project that supports alternative sports and urban culture. They represent a pillar that stands for building a better and safer future!

(Hi)Story

The concept of New York Crew began in 2008 in Galati, in eastern Romania. Our founding members are Ionut Alessandru, Madalin Corneliu and Sabin-Emilian. Initially, the organization aimed to promote friendship and to fulfill the founders’ goals and initiatives, while still bearing an urban identity.

One name visible underneath - New York Crew.

A handful of youngsters embark on an adventure, aiming to follow their passions and make a change in society. Then, collaborations began: local DJs, MCs, graphic artists; they all helped raise interest in these activities and lifestyle considered to be niche.

Time passed and more and more people joined this movement, all with their own past, passions and dreams, but still sharing one common goal: giving back to the community and bringing to life the ideas that they believed in. This is how, in 2014, the New York Crew Association came to be, adding support for alternative sports and nature to the initial cause.

So how did this come to be? Nature is a place where time doesn’t exist. Wild and free. It is a place where you can enjoy a unique, vibrant silence. It’s so quiet that you can hear the beat of your own heart. We dream about this place when we are not there, when we feel trapped by the stressful environment of daily life, with all its constraints. But out there it’s just mother nature and us. It is a true privilege to feel like these wild spaces belong to us and we belong to them. We rush through our lives day after day, so full of obligations that we tend to forget about ourselves. It is said that ‘life is short’, but maybe it’s just long enough if you live it right. Here, in the heart of nature, doing what we love, we feel at home. This is our place of adventure, joy and freedom, and it brings the perfect contrast to the rush of urban life.

At New York Crew, we think that everyone should follow their passion and be good at whatever it is that they wish to do. However, there are many sportsmen out there that deserve recognition for the effort they have put forward in their quest toward mastery of their sport of choice. Be they ski racers, longboarding professionals, mountain bikers or many others, there are amazing people in this world who simply cannot step in the spotlight because media has become more about making money than about promoting values.

Since 2008, at New York Crew, we are looking for young, talented people who want to develop their skills by developing and implementing projects aimed at athletes, artists and the community, but also for people who follow their passions through their work or hobbies.

New York City – the city that never sleeps. In our vision, New York City is the epicenter of diversity, innovation and possibilities in the western world. It is a city where opposites come together, it is a symbol of freedom and fun, it is a place where urban art and culture have been present since the beginning of modern times
