Who can join?

Rotarians come from all walks of life but key is being of good character.

Rotarians need to, and do, trust each other on the basis of our famous Four Way Test - 


Rotary clubs also welcome members of our other Club programmes including Interactors, Rotaractors, Rotary Peace Fellows, Rotary Youth Exchange students and Rotary Youth Leaders.
