WHO WE ARE
The Rotary Club of Chapel Hill provides service to the community. We do this by serving meals at the Ronald McDonald House, recognizing the area’s best school principals and assistant principals, cleaning up the environment, sponsoring high school kids’ leadership skill building, and helping out our partner club of students at UNC-Chapel Hill. We also do lots of other services!
Our members are university affiliates, bankers, young professionals, retired folks – and other regular people – who are committed to making a difference in the community and the world!

We presented the Principal of the Year award in the local school district!
We're funding a hospitality kiosk at UNC Children's Hospital! This is a partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities.

CULTIVATING YOUTH LEADERSHIP
The Rotary Club of Chapel Hill has a strong tradition of supporting youth leadership programs such as Rotaract and RYLA.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a program that encourages servant leadership in youth by recognizing and rewarding deserving 11th-grade students who are chosen to attend RYLA as an “award” for their past and present leadership and service activities. These select young people attend an all-expenses-paid camp where they are inspired by a diverse group of exceptional speakers, make life-long friends through fellowship activities, and discuss the ethical and social issues of today. The result is that these students return to their schools and communities motivated to take on additional leadership roles and to find additional ways to serve.
