History of the Rotary Club of Austin

The Rotary Club of Austin (RCA) is the oldest and largest Rotary Club in the City of Austin. Founded in 1913, RCA now counts approximately 200 business, civic and community leaders among its members. Each of these individuals is committed to Rotary’s “Service Above Self” philosophy that drives the Club’s efforts to improve our community, our nation and the world.

Rotary Club of Austin members meet weekly to share fellowship, build friendships and listen to influential and intriguing guest speakers. Members also volunteer their time throughout the year to support a variety of local, national and global service projects. Some of these commitments, such as the Helping Hand Home for Children, stretch back more than 90 years.

The heart and soul of the Club, however, is the individual passion for serving others that each member brings.  We’re an active, enthusiastic group and are always on the lookout for like-minded leaders to join our efforts.
