WE ARE
The Rotary Club of St. Petersburg is the oldest and largest service club in our city — and one of the first 200 Rotary clubs in the world. For over a century, we’ve united business and community leaders in service above self. Join us in making a lasting impact locally and globally.
WHAT IS ROTARY?
The Rotary Club of St. Petersburg turned 100 years old on January 2, 2020. The club was one of the first 200 clubs chartered by Rotary International (today there are over 35,000 clubs worldwide). It was founded by former St. Petersburg Times editor, William Straub and other community leaders.

WHY JOIN THE ROTARY?
1. MAKE A REAL IMPACT IN
YOUR COMMUNITY
You won’t just talk about change.
You’ll lead it.
Rotary gives you the tools, support, and structure to take action on local issues—whether it’s improving schools, supporting veterans, feeding families, or mentoring youth.
2. BUILD LASTING FRIENDSHIPS
Service bonds people in ways small talk never could.
Rotary connects you with a network of passionate, like-minded people from all walks of life. These aren’t just acquaintances—Rotarians often become close friends who support one another personally and professionally.
3. EXPAND YOUR PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
It’s the original LinkedIn—but with
heart and action.
Rotary clubs include professionals, business leaders, and community influencers. It’s an unmatched space for building relationships, developing leadership skills, and opening doors.
4. BE PART OF GLOBAL GOOD
Local hands, global reach.
Rotary tackles massive global issues—like eradicating polio, promoting clean water, and supporting peace initiatives. When you join, you become part of a 1.4 million-member force for good worldwide.
