Rotaract Outstanding Project Awards
Rotaract clubs develop projects to address community challenges around the world. This year, 558 projects were nominated for the Rotaract Outstanding Project Awards, but only six regional and two international projects received top honors for their innovation, sustainability, and collaboration. 

Learn more about this year's awardees and get inspired to nominate your outstanding project next year!

Celebrate World Immunization Week

  • Download Rotary's toolkit for sample social media posts and graphics. 
  • Color your pinkie finger purple and post a photo on social media with the hashtags #EndPolio and #VaccinesWork.
