Become a Rotarian.
If 'Service Above Self' speaks to you, you've already passed the hardest part. The rest is a Monday-night meeting and a handshake.
Folks like you.
Our members span generations and professions — Millennials to Boomers, educators to entrepreneurs, retirees to brand-new parents. The common thread is wanting to do good and have a good time doing it.
You don't need to be a CEO. You don't need to have a lot of free time. You just need to show up, lend a hand when you can, and bring yourself.
- You're community-minded — you care about Summerville and the wider world.
- You like people — meetings, projects, and socials are the heart of it.
- You can do a Monday evening — most weeks. Life happens; we're flexible.
- You're not afraid of a hammer — or a backpack, or a bicycle wrench. We'll teach.
Visit a Monday meeting first — no commitment, no cost, your first dinner's on us.
