So what is Rotary International?

We are people of action who create opportunity and better the world.


A worldwide network of neighbors, friends, and leaders, Rotary International unites people, transforms communities through acts of service, and cultivates lifelong friendships around the globe.

Founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1905, Rotary International was the world’s first volunteer service organization, and has since spread their founding ideal of “Service Above Self” to every corner of the world.
