Being a Rotarian

Becoming a Rotarian means more than simply joining an organization—it’s a commitment to creating positive, lasting change in communities around the world. As a Rotarian, you become part of a global network of passionate, dedicated individuals who work together to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from eradicating diseases to promoting peace and improving education.

Becoming a member of the club is primarily through sponsorship by an existing member. However submitting the form below can also get you closer to becoming a Rotarian. Kindly do well to fill and submit the form and we will get back to you.

How Do I Become a Member of Rotary?

 Please note that membership in a Rotary club is by invitation only. Often, a person being considered for membership is invited by a club member, or sponsor, to attend one or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. In this case, the sponsor submits the candidate’s name to the club’s membership committee. 
If you are interested in joining our Rotary Club, please send an email with your contact details to [email protected]. We will contact you.

Is it worth joining the Rotary club?

Rotary provides a platform for personal and professional development. Work on projects, collaborate with experts, and enhance your skills while giving back. Support youth in your community through Rotary’s various programs, like Interact and Rotaract, helping to nurture the leaders of tomorrow.

Prospective members must:

  • Hold (or be retired from) a professional, proprietary, executive, managerial, or community position
  • Have demonstrated a commitment to service through personal involvement
  • Be able to meet the club’s attendance or community project participation requirements
  • Live or work within the vicinity of the club or surrounding area

Members are expected to attend weekly club meetings. They must pay annual dues to their clubs (which also covers Rotary district and Rotary International affiliation fees), and they’re expected to participate in local or international Rotary club activities or projects. Clubs encourage members to aspire to club leadership or committee roles.

A member must attend or make up at least 50% of club regular meetings or satellite club meetings, or engage in club projects, other events and activities for at least 12 hours in each half of the year, or a proportionate combination of both. 

There is no minimum age to join Rotary. You may be invited to join at any age after you become established in a career and have the time and financial resources to meet all Rotary club membership requirements. If you’re interested in joining a Rotary club, ask members about the time and financial commitments necessary to fulfill membership requirements, and consider whether you can make those commitments.

No. Rotarians have achieved a level of career experience that enables them to bring a specialization to their club, and students haven’t yet reached a level in their professional and personal lives that allows them to fulfill all aspects of Rotary club membership. But undergraduate and graduate students, as well as young adults, may become members of Rotaract clubs .
