Rotary Structure
Rotary is made up of three parts: our clubs, Rotary International, and the Rotary Foundation.
Rotary international includes over 530 districts across the world.
Within Rotary there are different volunteer structures including Rotary clubs, Rotaract clubs for young adults over 18 years of age and Interact clubs for 12-18 year olds.
Rotary International
Rotary International is a worldwide network of over 1.4 million people who volunteer their skills and resources to improve communities around them.
The world renowned organisation was started in 1905 by a group of business owners in Chicago, United States, and quickly became instrumental in humanitarian efforts.
“Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves.” – Founder, Paul Harris.
