About us!

Rotary is a vast network of 1.2 million individuals united by the desire to create a better world. Our members are neighbors, friends, and leaders who share a common goal of taking action to solve problems, both locally and globally. At Rotary, we believe in the power of unity and collective action to effect lasting change. For over a century, our people of action have been working on sustainable projects, ranging from literacy and peace to water and health. We are committed to seeing these initiatives through to the end, using our passion, energy, and intelligence to make a difference in the world.

What we do

At Rotary, we are driven by the belief that we all are responsible for addressing the most pressing issues facing our world. We work collaboratively with over 35,000 clubs worldwide to tackle challenges and create positive change. Our focus areas include promoting peace, fighting disease, providing access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, supporting education, saving mothers and children, and growing local economies. By working together and using our collective resources, Rotary members are making a meaningful impact in global communities.

Our mission

We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.

Vision statement

Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and ourselves.
