What we’re about
Rotary clubs are worldwide service organizations that also stress socializing in and out of the clubs. This MeetUp group will introduce people to the Silicon Valley Rainbow Rotary Club, the second LGBTQIA+ Rotary Club in the world.
We are looking for people that are either members of the LGTBQIA+ community or allies. Our primary focus is on community service projects in the LGBTQIA+ community, however, we are not limited to only that.
Our meetings are held once a month and currently are held online via Zoom. We discuss projects and project ideas. We also hosts socials to stay connected with each other. Along with our focus on community service, we provide opportunity for professional and personal development. Rotary opens the door to many possibilities!
