While we serve in countless ways, we’ve focused our efforts in seven key areas to maximize our impact. These areas encompass some of the world’s most critical and widespread humanitarian needs, and Rotary has a record of success in accomplishing them.
Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group of professionals and community leaders who share your drive to give back. Discuss your community's needs and discover creative ways to meet them. Expand your leadership and professional skills with 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 ourselves. Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. Learn more about our structure and our foundation and our strategic vision.
Rotary members have been addressing challenges for over 115 years. Rotary links 1.2 million members to form an organization of international scope. It started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23rd of February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could network, exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.

Ever wonder why 1 July is the beginning of the Rotary year? Initially, our conventions played a key role in determining the start date of our fiscal and administrative year.
Rotary’s first fiscal year began the day after the first convention ended, on 18 August 1910. The 1911-12 fiscal year also related to the convention, beginning with the first day of the 1911 convention on 21 August.
