About our club

At the Rotary Club of Elkhart, we are a passionate community of local leaders united by a shared commitment to service, fellowship, and positive change. Since our founding in 1917, we've been dedicated to making Elkhart a better place to live, work, and play—guided by the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.”

Our members come from diverse backgrounds, yet we are united by a common purpose: to serve our community and beyond. Through hands-on volunteerism, financial support, and collaborative partnerships, we support local nonprofits, mentor youth, and fund initiatives that uplift our neighbors and strengthen our city.

From sponsoring scholarships and youth leadership programs to organizing community cleanups and supporting cultural institutions like the Wellfield Botanic Gardens, we believe in the power of small acts to create lasting impact. Our work is rooted in the belief that when we come together, we can build a brighter future for all.

Whether you're a lifelong resident or new to Elkhart, we invite you to join us in this meaningful journey. Come to a meeting, volunteer at an event, or simply connect with a Rotarian—we’d love to welcome you into our circle of service and friendship.
