Welcome to the website for the Rotary Club of Ashland
We are People of Action

Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Rotary Club of Ashland. Founded in 1941 and celebrating our 83rd year, the Rotary Club of Ashland is one of over 35,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries. Although each of our clubs is unique in its own way, we all embrace the vision of Rotary International: “Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.”

With close to 100 members, the Rotary Club of Ashland is involved in many service projects locally and internationally. The theme for this year is "The Magic of Rotary," and part of our magic comes from the fact that we welcome members from a wide variety of backgrounds who are all committed to making the world a better place for everyone.

Locally, our members work together to support children, families, and our community with the Rotary Garden, Ashland Reads, Oregon Battle of the Books, Weekend Backpack Project, Easter Egg Hunt, Rotary Youth Exchange, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), Student of the Month, and much more!

The Rotary Club of Ashland also makes a difference globally. We partner with the Rotary Club of Guanajuato, Mexico, to provide clean water and housing to rural areas in Ashland’s sister city. We also support Polio Plus, Rotary International’s initiative to eradicate polio worldwide.

The Ashland Rotary Foundation supports our local and global service projects and has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to deserving students of Ashland High School and Southern Oregon University.

 
If you would like to experience the magic of Rotary for yourself at one of our meetings and learn more about what we do and how you might get involved, please contact us at rotary.ashland@gmail.com and arrange to be our guest for an upcoming meeting.

I look forward to meeting you!
