Welcome

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Carlsbad — Where We Unite for Good

 

At the Rotary Club of Carlsbad, we are a group of neighbors, professionals, and leaders who come together each week with a shared purpose: to unite for good.

Whether we’re organizing local food drives, supporting children’s education, building homes across the border, or raising funds for causes close to our hearts — we are people of action. 

We’re proud to be part of Rotary International’s global network of 1.4 million members, but our focus starts right here at home in Carlsbad. We’re committed to creating meaningful change.

Rotary isn’t just about giving back. It’s also about belonging. In our club, you’ll find laughter, support, new friendships, and a chance to make a real difference — all while having a lot of fun.

Whether you’re a lifelong volunteer, new to the area, or simply looking for something more meaningful — we invite you to visit one of our Thursday evening meetings or join us at a service project. You’ll be warmly welcomed.

Come see what it means to Unite for Good. We’d love to meet you. 

— Kelly Schafer, President 2025–2026

"Unite for Good" is Rotary International's Theme for 2025-2026

Unite for Good is the theme for the 2025/2026 Rotary year. It’s more than a slogan — it’s an invitation.
 

It calls for us to come together, share our strengths, and make a real difference in the lives of others.

When we unite, we multiply our impact and create positive change that lasts.

At its heart, Unite for Good is about connection. It’s about building friendships, supporting one another, and discovering what’s possible when we work side by side.

Together, we can do more good than we ever could alone.
