Rotary is more flexible than ever before. With a variety of ways to get involved with your local club, there is bound to be an opportunity to suit you, your lifestyle and your commitments.

Join an existing club

The most common method of joining. Clubs are flexible in their meeting times and locations, with multiple clubs often operating in a certain area, giving you options to suit you and your commitments.

As well as face-to-face meetings, a number of clubs operate with online meetings, offering greater flexibility for those who are frequently on the go, or those who lead a particularly busy lifestyle, but still want to give back to the community.

While clubs meet at different times, in different places and in different ways, the thing they all have in common is the fact they come together for hands on projects, volunteering and community activities to improve the lives of others.

Friend of Rotary and Project Volunteering

If you’re not quite ready to commit, a number of clubs offer ‘Friend of Rotary’ programmes or volunteering options on specific club projects.

This gives you the opportunity to get involved with Rotary to decide whether it is right for you.

We’ll ask you a few questions to understand what you’re looking for, before connecting you with members in your area, where you’ll have chance to try a few clubs to find your best fit.

Rotary’s most powerful asset is our members, People of Action who are determined to make a difference.

“Where others see problems, People of Action see possibilities for their communities.”

People of Action tap into their professional skills, expertise and knowledge to discover solutions. People of Action roll up their sleeves to mobilise their communities to get the job done.
