Water and sanitation
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Economic and community development
Supporting the environment
Where there’s a need, we reach out to local and international communities to develop sustainable solutions.
Together, we can achieve amazing results. We would enjoy hearing from you if you have an idea for a hands-on project in West Marin. Projects are most successful when the need has been thoughtfully studied and discussed. We sometimes partner with other volunteer organizations to benefit all concerned.
If you would like to contribute in any way, please email us at info@rotaryclubwestmarin.com
If you are not local, we can help you find a club near you to participate in so you, too, can get involved and experience the reward of service above self.
The Rotary Club of West Marin stands in solidarity with the citizens of Ukraine.
