People who unite to create lasting change locally and globally.

Rotary is a global network of more than 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who believe in a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change—across the globe, in our communities, and within ourselves.

As part of Rotary International, the Royal City Rotary Club brings that vision to life through service. We are committed to uniting people with purpose and integrity to strengthen and care for our communities—locally, regionally, and internationally.

We believe real change happens when we work together. Many hands make light work, and by joining forces, we lift burdens, amplify impact, and create lasting good. CLICK "Membership Enquiry" above to connect and find our more.

Our YOUTH Programs

Local member Dana Osiowy updated our breakfast meeting attendee's on how we support YOUTH in our community through Rotary programs. Our Rotary Youth Committee has been busy supporting some incredible young people. Exchange student Luci is thriving and excited to explore more of our community, WE have a new student preparing for her year in France, and our student continues to do well in Austria. We’re seeing great interest in RYLA, scholarship reviews are coming up and Adventures in Citizenship are open for applications — all offering youth meaningful chances to build confidence, leadership, and global perspective. This update was shared in a presentation by Rotarian Dana Osiowy, who has recently stepped into a new role supporting the Youth Committee and is excited to help more young people access these opportunities. If you know a youth who might benefit or a Rotarian who wants to get involved, now is a great time to connect. CLICK HERE for more information about Rotary's RYLA program.
