Service Opportunities

Club members have many opportunities for service to others, both locally and internationally. Service programs address such concerns as health care, hunger, poverty, literacy, and the environment. Rotarians experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.

Friendship

Rotary was founded on fellowship, an ideal that remains a benefit of membership today. Club members enjoy camaraderie, and club projects offer additional opportunities to develop enduring friendships. Rotary club members who travel have friendly contacts in almost every city in the world.

International Awareness

With more than 35,000 Rotary clubs in over 160 countries, Rotarians gain an understanding of humanitarian issues through international service projects and exchange programs. One of Rotary’s highest objectives is to build goodwill and peace throughout the world.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our community and in ourselves. The Rotary Club of Uxbridge and Rotary International believe that embracing diversity, equity and inclusion should be part of everything we do.

Good Citizenship

Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity and intelligence into completing projects that have a lasting impact. Weekly meetings inform members about what is taking place in the community, the nation and the world and motivates them to make a difference.

Leadership Development

Team-building, fundraising, public speaking, planning, organization and communication are a sample of the leadership skills that club members can develop. Being a Rotary leader provides further experience in learning how to motivate, inspire, and guide others.

Focus on Youth and Family

Rotary sponsors some of the world’s largest youth exchange, educational exchange, and scholarship programs. Rotary clubs provide innovative training opportunities and mentoring for young leaders and involve family members in a wide range of social and service activities.

Ethics and Integrity

In our personal and professional lives we abide by The Rotary Four-Way Test: Of the things we think, say or do we ask: 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? Encouraging high ethical standards and integrity in everything we do is a hallmark of Rotary.

Fun

Social activities give Rotarians a chance to let loose and have fun. Every Rotary club and district hosts parties and activities that offer diversions from our busy lives. Conferences, conventions, assemblies, and social events provide entertainment as well as opportunities for service, education and fellowship.

Connecting our Community

A founding principle of Rotary is to meet periodically to enjoy camaraderie and personal interactions with other members. Our club is non-political, non-religious and open to all.  Rotary is where neighbours, friends and problem-solvers share ideas and take action to create lasting change.
