We’re celebrating Membership and New Club Development Month in August. We know that the main reasons our members join and stay with Rotary are community service and friendship. That makes this month the perfect time to learn more about how to further engage with our global community and make a positive difference.
Strengthen your service projects by contacting a Rotary Action Group, sponsoring a Rotary Community Corps, working with your district community or international service chair, collaborating with one of Rotary’s service and project partners, or finding inspiration at Rotary Showcase.
Connect with new people by taking part in a Rotary Friendship Exchange, joining a Rotary Fellowship, attending a project fair, or collaborating with an Intercountry committee.
Learn more about how these programs and opportunities can enhance your membership experience on the Rotary Service in Action blog.
Rotary Community Corps support our Action Plan
Rotary Community Corps (RCCs) increase our impact by involving community members who aren’t Rotary members in service activities and introducing new members to Rotary. The 2021 Rotary Programs and Offerings Survey found that many members who joined Rotary in 2019 and 2020 had participated in this program. It also found that members’ experience with RCCs was overwhelmingly positive, with 90% saying that working with an RCC deepened their relationship with the community, enhanced their understanding of local needs and priorities, and provided more opportunities for sustained local impact
- 58% said working with an RCC increased the club’s local service impact
- 57% said it enhanced awareness of Rotary in the community
- 13% said it grew the club’s membership
