Our Impact Starts with Our Members

In Rotary, we work with individuals who see a world where people like you come together and take action to create lasting change. In club meetings held in communities around the world, our members come together to strengthen their bonds with friends and neighbors and increase their commitment to improving lives.

​

Who Can Join?

We are looking for anyone who wants to contribute to their communities. Rotary clubs also welcome Rotaract members, Rotary Peace Fellows, and other members of the Rotary family.

How Can I Join?

Clubs accept new members through invitations. To help us find the right club for you, simply answer a few questions about your interests and yourself. We will share your answers with Rotary leaders in your community who will help match you with a club.
