Founded in 1911, the Rotary Club of Providence is a fellowship and service organization of men and women dedicated to the Rotary motto of Service Above Self. We are one of over 35,000 clubs in more than 150 countries, with over 1.2 million members.
We serve the local community with active support for literacy and other needs related to children.
Our wide-ranging partnership with Providence's Harry Kizirian Elementary School includes placing a small library in each classroom through the generosity of a longtime member, having Rotarians read to students, and a beautification effort with Rotarians adding brightly colored paint along the corridors and creating an imaginative mural based on student drawings in the main lobby.
Proceeds from club fundraising activities support the Providence Rotary Charities Foundation, which distributes grants totaling more than $50,000 each year to the Childhood Literacy Initiative and local agencies serving children.
Our weekly meetings feature interesting speakers and opportunities for members and guests to socialize. Fellowship activities include a bowling league, a book club and parties for almost any occasion.
If you're interested in serving your community and adding enjoyment to your life through the company of like-minded men and women, we're interested in meeting you!

Providence Rotarians are encouraged to invite friends or colleagues who might be interested in joining our club to attend our May 31 meeting. We'll share information about how Rotarians are doing good in the world and here at home, and we'll hear a report on current issues from Rhode Island's senior U. S. Senator, Jack Reed. There's no charge for guests who are considered prospective members; other guests are welcome at the usual cost of $26.
