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.
