Rotary Fellowships allow Rotarians, spouses, and Rotaractors with shared interests to connect internationally. They provide opportunities for vocational development, service, recreation, and lifelong friendships outside one's own club. Each fellowship operates independently with its own leadership and rules, while maintaining communication with Rotary International. Examples include fellowships centered around activities like running, scuba diving, and doll collecting.
