Our clubs are where Rotary’s humanitarian work begins. At weekly meetings, members not only catch up with friends and hear what’s happening in our communities, but they also exchange ideas for creating positive change. But it doesn’t stop there.

Our global network enables members to connect with business, professional, and community leaders anywhere in the world. You can experience a new culture, use your professional skills for a good cause, or share a hobby. If you can’t do it at home, you can surely do it at Rotary’s annual convention, where our diverse membership comes together for inspiration, education, and fun.

The Rotary Vision: “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and ourselves.” Does that feel “right” to you? If so, you might be the type of person who would be a great Rotarian. We are looking for people of action. At club meetings, our members come together to strengthen their connections to friends and neighbors and their commitment to improving lives.

Who can join?

• Individuals who wish to contribute to their communities.
