Being a Member

Friendship

In an increasingly complex world, Rotary maintains a simple philosophy — make friends in your own community and throughout the world.

Giving back to the community

Through Rotary, service to local and overseas communities is well organized and rewarding. If you like helping others, here is your chance to do something worthwhile and make a real difference.

Fun and entertainment

Rotary is fun... a lot of fun. Every Rotary club and district arranges parties and activities that provide a welcome distraction to a hectic business life.

Business development

Networking opportunities are endless. Rotary consists of a cross-section from every business community. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.

Personal growth and development

Membership of Rotary develops leadership, public speaking, social, business, personal and vocational skills, as well as improving cultural awareness.

Continued learning

Clubs organize programs and weekly meetings to keep members informed about what is going on in the community, the country, and the world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers on a variety of current topics.

Travel opportunities

Every Rotarian is welcome — even encouraged — to attend any of the 33,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical regions. This bond creates an instant friendship wherever you are in the world. Many a Rotarian in need of a local doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, or other expertise while travelling has found assistance through Rotary.
