Rotary is a global network of more than a million People of Action. We see a world where people work together to create lasting change – throughout the world, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 110 years, Rotary's people of action have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects.
We’re looking for people who want to give back to their communities. Our 35,000+ clubs work together to:
- Promote peace
- Fight disease
- Provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene
- Save mothers and children
- Support education
- Grow local economies
- Support the environment
Rotary is made up of three parts: our clubs, Rotary International, and The Rotary Foundation. Rotary clubs unite dedicated people to exchange ideas, build relationships, and take action. Rotary International supports Rotary clubs worldwide by coordinating global programs and initiatives.The Rotary Foundation helps fund our humanitarian activities, from local service projects to global initiatives.
We live by a code of ethics called The Four Way test, which asks us in all we do, think, and say to consider four questions first:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the communities we serve.
We're creating an organization that is more open and inclusive, fair to all, builds goodwill, and benefits our communities. We want people with differing perspectives and ideas who will help Rotary take action to create lasting change in communities around the world.
Through Rotary, you'll find unique opportunities to get involved. Everyone is welcome in Rotary.
