What is Rotary?


What would it take to change the world? 
2012-2013 Rotary International Theme
Rotary's 1.2 million members believe it starts with a commitment to Service Above Self.
Rotary is a worldwide network of individuals who translate their passion into relevant social causes to change lives in communities. 



We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.

Rotary clubs serve communities around the world, each with unique concerns and needs. Rotarians have continually adapted and improved the way they respond to those needs, taking on a broad range of service projects locally, nationally and internationally. 
The most successful and sustainable Rotary service tends to fall within one of the following six areas:


Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
Disease prevention and treatment
Water and sanitation
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Economic and community development
