The Rotary Club of Ventura has been a cornerstone of civic service in our community since 1919. Our members are business owners, nonprofit leaders, educators, and public servants who come together with a shared commitment to make Ventura stronger, more connected, and more resilient.
We believe that leadership carries a responsibility to serve — and Rotary offers a unique space where community leaders can collaborate, exchange ideas, and take meaningful action on the issues that matter most.
Why the Rotary Club of Ventura?
- Civic Engagement: We work hand-in-hand with city departments, schools, and nonprofits to support programs that improve quality of life for Ventura residents — from youth scholarships and literacy initiatives to local beautification projects and food security efforts.
- Credible, Long-Term Impact: With over a century of service and a strong network through Rotary International, we bring structure, accountability, and scale to local initiatives while also contributing to global causes like disease prevention, disaster relief, and access to clean water.
- Professional Collaboration: The club is a forum for Ventura’s changemakers — a place to share knowledge, forge partnerships, and cultivate leadership across sectors.
- Visible, Action-Oriented Presence: Through regular service projects, fundraising efforts, and community events, we maintain a hands-on, visible presence in Ventura. We don’t just plan — we show up.
We invite you to be part of this legacy of service and leadership. Your voice, your perspective, and your partnership can help shape what comes next for our city and beyond.
