Rotary Action Groups (RAGs) are global, Rotary‑affiliated networks of experts and volunteers who share a deep interest or professional background in a specific cause. While Rotary clubs focus on service at the local and district levels, Action Groups operate across borders, bringing together Rotarians, Rotaractors, and even non‑Rotarian specialists who want to apply their knowledge to complex humanitarian challenges. They function as independent, Rotary‑recognized organizations that collaborate with clubs and districts to design stronger, more sustainable projects.
What makes Action Groups especially valuable is their subject‑matter expertise. Whether the focus is peacebuilding, water and sanitation, addiction prevention, environmental sustainability, or maternal and child health, each group offers technical guidance, best practices, project planning support, and connections to global partners. For clubs that want to take on a project but aren’t sure where to start—or want to elevate an existing effort—Action Groups can be a powerful resource.
For many Rotarians, discovering Action Groups feels like unlocking a new layer of Rotary. They provide opportunities to engage with your passions on a global scale, collaborate with like‑minded professionals, and amplify your club’s impact. Joining is optional and open to anyone who wants to contribute expertise or simply learn more about a particular area of focus.
