Become A Rotarian
Why Join the Rotary Club of Salem?
The Rotary Club of Salem has proudly served the Roanoke Valley since 1949. With over 130 dedicated members, we are one of the largest and most active clubs in Rotary International District 7570. But it’s not our size that defines us—it’s our unwavering commitment to service, leadership, and community.
A Club That Makes a Difference
At the heart of our club is a passion for “Service Above Self.” From awarding scholarships and building beds for children in need, to hosting beloved events like Olde Salem Days and Star B‑Q, our projects make a tangible impact on lives throughout the region.
We’ve contributed over $1 million to local nonprofits and initiatives that strengthen education, health, and economic opportunity. Whether maintaining the Salem Rotary Dog Park or supporting global humanitarian efforts, our service is far-reaching and deeply rooted.
Why Join Us?
Membership in the Rotary Club of Salem means more than giving back—it means gaining a network of inspiring leaders, forming lifelong friendships, and growing as a professional and community advocate. Each week, we gather to connect, collaborate, and take action together.
