For more than a century, the Rotary Club of Alameda has brought together neighbors, professionals, and community leaders who believe in making a positive difference — locally and globally. If you’re looking for a place to serve, connect, grow, and have fun along the way, you’ll feel right at home here.
💙 What We’re All About
Founded in 1920, our club is part of Rotary International, a global network of 1.4 million people united by a simple idea: when people come together with purpose, we create lasting change.
In Alameda, that means hands‑on service projects, community partnerships, fundraising for local nonprofits, giving high school seniors scholarships, and supporting international humanitarian efforts. It also means building friendships that last a lifetime.
