There are countless ways to serve through Rotary, satisfying any member’s particular interest and passion for giving. Our Club’s philanthropic focus is on youth, seniors, local and international community service projects, philanthropic giving, and fostering ties between Morgan Hill and the world:

Rotary International

We are a part of Rotary International, a volunteer service organization with 1.2 million members in 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries. Our clubs pool their resources to provide humanitarian service and help build goodwill and peace.

Together, we address today’s challenges — including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns — while encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations.

Since 1985, Rotary International and its partners have reduced polio worldwide by 99%. Rotary has contributed $1.2 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries.
