Who we are and what we do
We are people of action, living and working in Missoula who value community, service and the good company of other talented and generous people.
We create opportunities for Missoulians to work together with fellow Missoulians and with likeminded people in partner communities around the world.
Powered by People Who Show Up
All the projects we’ve completed this winter—before we were even chartered by Rotary International—were initiatives that members imagined, advocated for and brought to life.
As a group we ensure that the projects are needed, self-funding and highly visible.
Each initiative is led by a dedicated three‑person team, with the full club rallying behind them to make it happen.
Guided by Modern Work and Agile Organizing, we move quickly, collaborate, and learn as we go.
Our projects are fast, focused and fun!
Missoula Downtown Rotary Club is focused on three areas of service to meet real needs in Missoula and provide a solid foundation for club leadership development.
After two years, the club will hold a visioning conference with the Rotarians who have worked and learned together through the first years. We’ll assess our progress, the community’s needs, and global partnership opportunities. We may simply adjust our club’s activities, or we may embark on a wholesale redesign.
Youth leadership development
Help youth build leadership skills and learn the value of service through Interact (service leadership club), RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) and International Rotary Youth Exchange.
Intergenerational service
Create a community of all ages to share events and projects—encouraging seniors to participate in civic and social activities—and give back through mentoring and friendship.
Support the Y2Y Corridor
Missoula is a key community in the Yellowstone to Yukon Wildlife Corridor—an international project to help wildlife and people coexist in the 2000-mile long bioregion that extends from Wyoming to the Yukon.
