What is Rotary?

Rotary is a global network of community volunteers. Rotary members are business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. 1.2 million Rotarians in 32,000 Rotary Clubs in more than 200 countries carry out service projects in their local communities and abroad to address such critical issues as poverty, health, hunger, illiteracy, and the environment.

Rotarians everywhere hold "Service Above Self" to be their highest calling. Rotarians, worldwide, value and uphold THE 4-WAY TEST of the things we think, say or do:


1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER
    FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?


Rotary International Youth Exchange is a rapidly growing program serving the Rotary mission of "building goodwill and peace in the world".
