There are more than 80 Rotary Fellowships. From sports and hobbies to professional interests, these groups draw members from around the world.
From stamp collecting to ballroom dancing, the interests of Rotarians are as diverse as the membership itself. Yet, among the more than 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide, an amateurradio enthusiast or a chess player is bound to find others who share the same passions. But Rotary Fellowship members share more than just their common interest in sport diving, golf, fishing, or scouting; they share an interest in fellowship and service and in promoting world understanding. As such, it’s no wonder that the International Skiing Fellowship of Rotarians donates the profits from ski events to The Rotary Foundation or that the Flying Rotarians help ferry medical personnel and supplies. Rotary Fellowships also unite Rotarians who have shared professional interest in such fields as arts and communication and finance/banking. Members exchange technical information and seek opportunities to employ their expertise in service not just to their own communities and countries, but to their professions as well.
They're just one more way Rotarians are promoting international fellowship, friendship, and service.

Overview of the program
Global Networking Groups allow individual Rotarians from several countries to join together to focus on common interests. Through these groups, you can -
• Share fellowship and friendship with thousands of Rotarians
• Meet other Rotarians with a similar hobby or vocational background
• Collaborate with Rotarians from around the world who are dedicated to a particular area of service
There are two types of Global Networking Groups: Rotary Fellowships and Rotarian Action Groups.
Rotary Fellowships
Rotary Fellowships offer Rotarians the opportunity to make friends with others in Rotary who share a common vocation, hobby, or recreational interest.
Rotarian Action Groups
Rotarian Action Groups conduct international service projects that further the Object of Rotary. If you're interested in supporting a particular type of service activity, there may be a Rotarian Action Group for you.
