What Is The Rotary Fellowships Program Exactly?
|
| The Rotary Fellowships program is a structured program of Rotary International that comprises more than 100 independent fellowships. You can join the growing number of Rotarians who are sharing their favourite activities and professional interests through organized recreational, vocational, and health/medical-related groups within Rotary.
Visit the special for comprehensive information about the range of both recreational and vocational fellowships.
From Amateur Radio to Yachting, Rotary Fellowships reflect the varied interests and occupations of Rotarians worldwide. Although objectives differ, all fellowships share the same philosophy and foundation. The fellowships are organized by Rotarians for Rotarians to develop new friendships and to advance opportunities for service.

Please use the contact information listed for our local Co-ordinators to discover more about these interesting programs.
