Making an International Difference – From Anywhere: Inside the Rotary Club of Worldwide IMPACT

Imagine a Rotary club without borders. Where time zones don’t stand in the way, and people from all over the world work together to make a difference. That’s the Rotary Club of Worldwide IMPACT – a fully online club, rooted in District 1550 in the Netherlands, with a truly international reach. We’re exploring what service and connection can look like in today’s digital world.

At Worldwide IMPACT, we believe that good intentions grow stronger when people with diverse backgrounds come together for a shared cause. Our members come from different countries, sectors, and professions. What unites them? A willingness to share their time, experience, and ideas to create positive change.

What sets us apart is flexibility. We don’t follow a fixed meeting schedule, and we operate mostly asynchronously. Whether you’re based in Europe, the U.S., or Australia, you can join and contribute in a way that suits your life. No suits, no boardrooms – just action, when it works for you.

At the same time, we value connection and community. That’s why we offer regular opportunities for fellowship, like our informal “Coffee with a Rotarian” chats – one-on-one moments to get to know a fellow member or just have a good conversation. We also host monthly online socials, sometimes themed, sometimes casual – always focused on building bonds and having fun together.

One of our highlights is the IMPACT Speaker Series. Think TED Talks with a Rotary twist. We invite inspiring changemakers from around the world to share their stories, insights, and projects. These sessions are more than talks – they’re a spark for fresh ideas and renewed motivation to make an impact.

At our core, we remain true to Rotary’s enduring motto: Service Above Self. But with a digital approach and international mindset, we’re giving that motto a fresh and forward-looking interpretation – one that reflects today’s energy, diversity, and innovation.

We’re showing that distance doesn’t have to mean disconnection – and that real impact can be truly worldwide.
