Rotary builds international understanding through scholarships, exchange programs, and humanitarian grants. Throughout the world, Rotary clubs participate in a broad range of educational, cultural and humanitarian activities designed to improve the lives of others.

The Rotary Club of Young
Our members are made up of a group of men and women who:
Come from a range of business, professional and local backgrounds, and
work together to help the local and wider global community in many different ways.
Our weekly meetings involve dinner, interesting guest speakers on wide ranging topics and sometimes a behind the scenes visit to a local business, industry or institution.
Our meetings are enjoyable and provide an opportunity to unwind, enjoy camaraderie, maybe do some networking, discuss topical issues and learn about something different.
We are family friendly, flexible and strive to keep involvement in Club activities affordable and fun for all members.
We usually meet at 6.30pm on Tuesday evenings and conclude about 9.00pm.
