Get involved in Rotary
When you get involved, it’s not just your community, club, and projects that benefit — you benefit, too.
As an active Rotarian, you’ll develop skills like public speaking, project management, and event planning.
You’ll meet interesting people from your community and from around the world. You’ll tackle local issues that are important to you and your fellow club members. You’ll feel the shared sense of purpose that comes from working together to better your community. When it comes to being an active Rotarian, the opportunities are endless. Here are some ways to get involved.
Start local and help your community
- Volunteer to help with your club’s signature service project.
- Get involved with one of the programs sponsored by your club.
- Identify a need in your community and design a hands-on project that addresses it.
- Collaborate with other clubs in your area, including Interact and Rotaract clubs, on a joint service project or event.
- Share your ideas about how to achieve club and project goals with club leaders, and take the lead on carrying them out. Your suggestions could become the next big initiative in your community.
