I quote from Paul Harris "Fellowship is wonderful; it illuminates life's pathways, spreads good cheer, and is worth the high price" Paul Harris was extolling the benefits of Rotary, but he might as well have been making the case for the Rotary Recreational and Vocational fellowships. For more than 60 years, Rotarians who share common interests have found fun, friendship, broader knowledge, world understanding and service within these fellowships. Inspired by the vision of Paul Harris and the Object of Rotary, these common-interest international fellowships have both mirrored and enriched the spirit of fellowship that every Rotary club enjoys.

The Rotary Fellowships program is a structured program of Rotary International that comprises more than 70 independent fellowships. Join the growing number of Rotarians who are sharing their favorite activities and professional interests through organized recreational, vocational, and health/medical-related groups within Rotary.
From Amateur Radio to Yachting, from Accountants to Travel Agents, 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.

Rotary Fellowships should not be the best kept secret in Rotary, but they are ! Each Rotary Fellowship focuses on a specific vocational or recreational discipline. Rotary Fellowships give Rotarians the opportunity to network with other Rotarians with whom they share interests. Fellowship is the foundation on which Rotary was built, and it is the source of Rotary's strength. Learn more about Rotary Fellowships and how they benefit you, your club and Rotary's global mission:
