Welcome to the Rotary Club of Nevada City

 
There's something that all Rotary club members have in common: We take action. As community volunteers, we reach out to neighbors in need. We build, support, and organize. We save lives. We work locally and globally.
 
The main objective of Rotary is service -- in the community, the workplace and the world. Around the world and around the corner, the 1.2 million men and women of Rotary
  • Get involved in our communities
  • Connect with other professionals
  • Share their time and experience with young people
  • Support global causes, such as eradicating polio
  • Use our skills to help others
Rotary is not just an organization. It is a medicine for the soul, a family we choose, not inherit,
and a gift we give to ourselves and the world! Past President Cathy Wilcox-Barnes.

Whether you're a veteran volunteer or new to community service, we are looking for people like you. Contact us for more information about Rotary and how to join us.

Imagination Library Expanding

More children are feeling the vibe!

As of December 1, over  825 children ages 0-5 are enrolled in the Imagination Library Nevada County program! Karen McDonald recently shared a heart warming story about a 2-year old child of a former student who came running to her at Mt St Mary's squealing "looky" with her first book. Friends, neighbors and until-now strangers are expressing joy and gratitude as their children receive their monthly books!
 
We are proud to partner with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, First 5 Nevada County, and the generous donors from our community to bring the joy of reading to littlest ones among us!
 
You too can support Nevada County’s Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library by making a special Year End 2025 Gift. Read Andrea’s Year 2025 Year End Letter.
