The Rotary Club of Chicago Southeast - Who We Are, What We Do and how YOU can be a Part of It!
PEOPLE OF ACTION
Our club offers opportunities for our members — and those interested in making a difference — to get involved. Through meetings, social events, and volunteer projects, our members learn about the issues facing our community and communities all over the world, partnering with local, national, and global experts to exchange ideas about potential solutions and to draw up action plans to respond. Along with these opportunities to serve, members also are able to regularly network, resulting in lifelong friendships and business connections.
Our club is a proud part of this community and of Rotary International. Rotary is a global network of more than 1.2 million members who believe that great things happen when dedicated minds come together. We are community and business leaders representing different professions, experiences, and perspectives but with a shared desire to connect with others to address the challenges affecting our community and communities around the world.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Solving real problems takes real effort, commitment, and vision. Rotarians work to protect communities from preventable disease, keep women and children healthy, improve education and economic outcomes, create safe water and sanitation infrastructure, and make our community and the world a more peaceful place.
We are working with various partners on the following projects:
Peace Projects — We work with grassroots organizations to assist them in developing young leaders to use their oratory and organizing skills to promote community peace and develop conflict resolution techniques.
Holiday Gift Drive — In partnership with Grundy County Waste management, we provide Holiday Gifts to Community Centers and Shelters in time for the Holiday Season.
Library and Technology Training – In collaboration with Nigerian Rotarians, we are planning to assist a library in southern Nigeria, supporting their management and training them on technology use and implementation.
Ending polio — Partnering with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF to end polio, once and for all.
