Together we fight hunger and meet urgent needs of our community

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.

Seniors (in) Action:

Every spring semester, senior students from the Sierra Academy of Expeditionary Learning (SAEL), a small public high school in Nevada City, embark on a shared journey of discovery, joy, and growth with a handful of curious and thoughtful senior citizens. Starting in February, small groups of high school seniors spend 8 weeks filming interviews with community elders.

The interviews are conversational, and include shared artifacts, photos, memories, stories, and much more. In May, everyone gathers to watch the films together and celebrate the experience.

Elders take home a beautiful multimedia memoir, with poems, stories, photos, and the film.

We’d like you to join us this year.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is coming to Nevada County

Give a gift that truly keeps on giving ~ fostering literacy among Nevada County’s youngest residents!

Nevada City Rotary is proud to launch Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Nevada County in the coming months. “Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five, through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local community partners.” Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write, Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 to foster a love of reading among her county’s young children and their families by providing them with the gift of a specially selected book each month.

You too can help bring this special gift to the young children across our county. Donate Now to bring Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to Nevada County or mail a check to Rotary Club of Nevada City Foundation, PO Box 74, Nevada City.
