What is Rotary
Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. For more than 120 years, Rotary's people of action have harnessed their passion, energy, and intelligence to drive sustainable projects. From literacy and peace to water and health, we continually strive to improve our world, and we remain committed to the cause.
