Working shoulder-to-shoulder and traveling together on multiple projects through the years helps our members build long-lasting friendships and is one of the most cherished aspects of being a Rotarian. - Charitable Giving
Become involved in a wide range of social and service activities. Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest youth exchange and educational exchange and scholarship programs. - World Understanding
Promoting peace is one of Rotary’s highest objectives, and because we are a global community, we can make a significant impact throughout the world. Gain an understanding of the most pressing, current humanitarian issues to have a significant impact on them through local and international service projects and exchange programs. - Community Awareness
Membership in Rotary makes one a better citizen. Stay informed on what is taking place in your community, nation, and worldwide. Our expansive network of clubs and programs provide extensive opportunities for service and interchange. We are able to attract top-notch speakers and leaders to support our weekly meetings and humanitarian efforts. - Good Citizenship
Rotarians practice a 4-Way Test that measures words and actions by their truthfulness, fairness, goodwill, and benefit to all. Encouraging high ethical standards in one’s profession and respect for all worthy vocations has been a guiding principle of Rotary from its earliest days. - Professional Networking
Rotary is the oldest, most prestigious service club organization in the world. We are a broad cross section of leaders from the public and private sectors, including successful entrepreneurs in fields such as healthcare, the arts, and sports. We provide a forum for thought leaders, decision makers and influencers in local communities and globally. - Diversity
Rotary is an open society of men and women who simply believe in helping others. Membership is open to every race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, national origin, or any other characteristic protected by law. We represent a cross-section of world leaders who promote inclusion and tolerance. - Entertainment
Every Rotary club and district hosts parties and activities that deepen the connection among members while providing a respite from one’s professional life. Assemblies, conventions, conferences and social events provide entertainment as well as Rotary information, education, and service.
Pieces of this were borrowed from other Rotarys, specifically the Rotary Club of Sacramento. The similarities of this list between Rotarys across the world is remarkable.
