All Rotary clubs aim to serve their community and those in
need throughout the
world.
Through club service projects, members learn
more about local and international
issues, and can volunteer their
time and talents where they are most needed.
Club meetings give members the
opportunity to build friendships,
enrich their professional and
personal knowledge, and
meet other business leaders in their community.
Members are welcome to
attend meetings at any Rotary
club – a practice that
guarantees Rotarians a warm
welcome in communities around the
world.
Learn our Guiding Principles
Throughout Rotary’s rich history,
Rotarians have strived to achieve
the ideal of Service Above Self.
Learn our Guiding Principles
Rotary’s Avenues of Service
form the foundation on which all club
activity is based.
Through Club Service, we have fun, build lasting
friendships, and make sure that
our club functions well.
Through Vocational
Service, we volunteer our professional skills
to serve others and promote integrity in
everything we do.
Through Community
Service, we address local needs and work
with our community to bring lasting
improvements.
Through International
Service, we meet
humanitarian needs around the
globe and promote world
understanding and peace.
Through New Generations
Service, we work with
young people to help them become
the next generation of
leaders, visionaries, and peacemakers.
