For those new to Rotary – and as a review for the older Rotarians …

You are now part of a global network of business, professional, and community volunteers.

In Rotary clubs around the world, Rotarians like you are changing lives in their own communities and those abroad – and forming strong, lasting friendships in the process.

So, how do you want to get involved in Rotary? That is the question for all Rotarians!

You can VOLUNTEER. 
  • Volunteer your skills

  • Build your network Volunteer your Skills - 
  • Talk to club members about where your expertise is most needed (Let’s have a club discussion about how we can help in the best way possible!) 
  • Serve on a club committee. What committee will best suit your skills and expertise? 
  • Attend your club’s next Board meeting and help plan club activities. Improve the community of Anguilla - 
  • Volunteer to help with the club’s projects and suggest new projects. 

What project is the Rotary Club of Anguilla best known for in the community? We need to have a signature project. 

  • Work with a youth program sponsored by the Rotary club (such as Interact or the Literacy project) 
  • Identify a need in the community and suggest a hands-on project that addresses this need. Build your network - 
  • Attend as many club meetings as you can. Connect with different people each time.
