Service Objective
Rotary Action Groups are independent, Rotary-affiliated groups made up of people from around the world who are experts in a field, such as economic development, peace, addiction prevention, the environment, or water.
Action groups offer their technical expertise and support to help clubs plan and implement projects to increase our impact, one of Rotary's strategic priorities. This support includes helping clubs find partners, funding, and other resources. Action groups can also help clubs and districts prepare grant applications, conduct community assessments, and develop plans to monitor and evaluate their projects.

HOW ROTARIAN ACTION GROUPS OPERATE
  • Each group functions independently of Rotary International establishing its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure.
  • Membership is open to Rotarians, their family members as well as participants and alumni of all Rotary and Foundation programs.
  • Rotarian Action Groups must adopt Rotary International’s standard bylaws and operate in accordance with Rotary policy.
  • Rotarian Action Groups regularly collaborate with clubs and districts on service projects in their area of specialty.
  • Rotarian Action Groups can help clubs and districts obtain funding or other assistance for their service projects.
BENEFITS OF ROTARIAN ACTION GROUPS
  • By joining a Rotarian Action Group, you can engage in meaningful service activities outside your own club, district, or country.
  • By partnering with a Rotarian Action Group, your club or district gains the support of experts for planning and implementing a project.
