Rotary is a volunteer organization of 1.2 million people united worldwide to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace. About 32,000 Rotary Clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas conduct projects to address today’s challenges both home and abroad – including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water and environmental concerns – while encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations. Rotary’s motto “Service Above Self” conveys the humanitarian spirit.

Rotary is the largest service organization in the world. It is the only one with a seat in the United Nations. As the world’s largest private provider of international scholarships, The Rotary Foundation helps more than 1,000 students annually to study abroad and serve as cultural ambassadors. Local Rotary clubs work with area high schools and colleges through the high school Interact Club and college Rotaract and by holding events to raise funds for scholarships.   Founded in Chicago in 1905 as the world’s first volunteer service organization, Rotary quickly expanded around the globe. Today, club members meet to plan service projects, discuss community issues and enjoy fellowship.  

PolioPlus is Rotary’s flagship program. By the time polio is eradicated, Rotary club members will have contributed $850 million and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries.
