Why Rotary?
Four reasons Rotarians keep showing up.
Rotary is where neighbors become friends, ideas become projects, and everyday people become People of Action.
Build Lifelong Friendships
Join a welcoming circle of neighbors who show up for one another — around the meeting table and out in the community.
Grow as a Leader
Sharpen your leadership through service, mentorship, and Rotary's world-class development programs.
Connect with a Global Network
Belong to a movement of 1.4 million Rotarians in more than 46,000 clubs across nearly every country on earth.
Our Club
A community of neighbors taking action together.
Chartered in 1991, the Rotary Club of Irvine is part of a global network of 1.4 million Rotarians united by one ideal: Service Above Self. We are educators, small-business owners, professionals, and retirees who believe Irvine is at its best when neighbors take action together.
We meet every Wednesday morning, 7:30–8:45 AM, at the Rancho Senior Center — and then take what's discussed into the community through signature projects like Baby Baskets for Marines, Stop the Bleed, and our annual scholarships.
The Four-Way TestIs it the truth? · Is it fair to all concerned? · Will it build goodwill and better friendships? · Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
