Growing leaders through service

Rotary has believed in investing in young leaders for generations. In 1962, Rotary International launched Interact to help students ages 12-18 develop leadership skills through community service, teamwork and international understanding. Just a few years later, Rotaract was officially established in 1968 to continue that mission with young adults ages 18 and older through leadership development, professional growth and community engagement.

Today, Interact and Rotaract continue to empower students and young professionals through service projects, networking opportunities and leadership experiences around the world.

The Rotary Club of Covington is proud to support and sponsor both the Kentwood Interact Club and the Green River College Rotaract Club, helping students discover the value of leadership, service and community involvement at every stage of their journey.

Ending polio together. One vaccine away from history.

Rotary has been leading the fight to end polio for more than 35 years.

Through fundraising, global partnerships and volunteer support, Rotary helped reduce polio cases worldwide by more than 99.9% since 1988.

What was once a disease affecting hundreds of thousands of children every year is now close to eradication.

Rotary works alongside partners including the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help deliver vaccines and protect children around the world.

But the fight is not over. Until polio is fully eliminated everywhere, children everywhere remain at risk.

Every Rotary club, every volunteer and every contribution helps move the world one step closer to ending polio forever.

Here in Covington, the Rotary Club of Covington believes strong communities are built through collaboration, respect and service. We value every member, every volunteer and every partnership that helps move our community forward. By working together, respecting one another’s ideas and supporting participation across our projects and activities, we continue building meaningful impact locally and beyond.

Where Rotary began

From one meeting to a worldwide movement.

Rotary began in 1905 when Paul Harris invited a small group of professionals to meet in Chicago with a simple vision: build friendships, encourage ethical leadership and create positive change through service.

What started as one club quickly grew into a global network dedicated to community impact and Service Above Self.

The first 15 Rotary clubs founded were:

Rotary Club of Chicago — 1905
Rotary Club of San Francisco — 1908
Rotary Club of Oakland — 1909
Rotary Club of Seattle — 1909
Rotary Club of Los Angeles — 1909
Rotary Club of New York — 1909
Rotary Club of Boston — 1909
Rotary Club of Tacoma — 1910
Rotary Club of Minneapolis — 1910
Rotary Club of Saint Paul — 1910
Rotary Club of Winnipeg — 1910
Rotary Club of Portland — 1910
Rotary Club of Spokane — 1911
Rotary Club of Dallas — 1911
Rotary Club of Philadelphia — 1911

Today, Rotary continues to connect leaders, professionals and volunteers who believe communities become stronger when people work together in service and friendship.

Here in Covington, the Rotary Club of Covington believes strong communities are built through collaboration, respect and service. We value every member, every volunteer and every partnership that helps move our community forward. By working together, respecting one another’s ideas and supporting participation across our projects and activities, we continue building meaningful impact locally and beyond.
