The answer is here! Discover it on the Rotary Club’s brand-new website: https://rotaryclubwda.org/.
This isn’t just a launch—it’s a milestone. On December 3, the International Day of People with Disabilities, we proudly unveil a platform dedicated to inclusion, service, and impact.
Join us as we celebrate dignity, accessibility, and the power of community.
Did you know? Rotary Club of World Disability Advocacy is the only Rotary Club “united
for the good” of people with all kinds of disabilities all over the world.
We’re a unique online club, blessed to be founded in District 7910 nearly five years ago.
We typically meet online on the 2nd and 4th Monday mornings at 10. We’ve
got more than 75 members from six continents doing some of Rotary’s most innovative
and inclusive work: teaching advocacy and accessibility; connecting organizations with
fewer resources to assistive technology; hosting inclusive education summits; and
offering to partner with you, our District clubs, to make your meetings and events more
accessible to your members with disabilities and those you serve who have disabilities.
And who doesn’t want to be more welcoming and accessible to current (and hopefully,
new!) members—as well as the people we serve above ourselves?
Visit our website and contact us with questions about disability. If we don’t know the
answer, we can likely find it for you, with our worldwide network of people with
disabilities and friends. We’ll even be glad to speak with you, learn from you, and hear
stories about people with disabilities in your life. We love being a conduit of learning and
information exchange.
We’d love to attend your club meeting as well (virtually, of course), and let us help you
think more accessible for your club and events. Our goals are 1) that disability will not
matter, only the abilities of people and their desire to serve as Rotarians; 2) that we all
prepare for disability, because as we go through life, we will more than likely enter the
"club of disability”; and 3) that what we say and do as Rotarians will not only
meet the 4-way test, but also, we’ll empower people with disabilities to serve and
be their best selves. This requires the extra step of learning about people with various
disabilities and meeting their accessibility needs.
We’d love to connect with you and see what more we can offer. Contact us
