Family Involvement

Family members can be involved in many ways...

A number of exciting RI programs are open to either spouses or children of Rotarians, including Youth Exchange, Rotary Recreation and Vocational Fellowships, Rotary Friendship Exchange, and Pre- and Post- Convention Homestay. However, family members are ineligible to participate in some programs, for example, Foundation scholarships.

Here are some suggestions for including your family members in the world of Rotary:

• Introduce family members to Rotarians as you meet them in any circumstance.
• Invite family members to a Rotary club meeting.
• Tell your family about various projects and activities of your club.
• Invite to your home or to a social activity Rotary Youth Exchange students or Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars sponsored or hosted by your club or district.
• Include your family members in all appropriate activities, such as social events and various service activities.
• Encourage your spouse — and children, when permitted and appropriate — to attend the district conferences, and the Rotary International Convention.
