Rotary Club of Newport Beach
In 2018, The Rotary Club of Newport Beach was specifically chartered to be the first Rotary Global Service Club with members and partner clubs from around the world. We are creating a 30-year plan with projects designed to share with other clubs and organizations based on the 4 Way test, The 7 Areas of Focus, The 8 Pillars of Positive Peace and the UN’s 17 Sustainable development goals.
The Rotary Club of Newport Beach was formed as a Global Service Club
with the purpose of “Embracing the future While Respecting the Past.”
All of our local and global service projects follow Rotary’s
legendary “4 Way Test” and fall under at least one of Rotary’s
“7 Areas of Focus“.We also have created project’s that
embrace Rotary’s “8 Pillars of Positive Peace” and have
a long-term strategy that aligns with the United
Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
All of our programs have been designed to partner with Rotary clubs locally
and globally in our strategic vision for the future.
