The Minneapolis Uptown Rotary Club is committed to fostering community engagement, empowering youth, and supporting global initiatives through service and education. We partner with local organizations, promote cultural understanding, and provide opportunities for younger generations through programs such as Rotary Youth Exchange and Junior Achievement BizTown. Our mission is to create positive change in our community (and beyond) by embracing Rotary principles such as service above self, fellowship, and integrity.

 

• Community Service – First and foremost: local partnerships and initiatives in Uptown, Minneapolis.

• Youth Empowerment – Educational and leadership opportunities.

• Global Impact – Sustainable development projects.

 

We work closely with local partners such as Joyce Uptown Food Shelf, Every Meal, and Ella Baker School to address food insecurity and support youth literacy. Our Warm Hands, Warm Hearts initiative provides winter essentials to those in need, while our partnership with Haiti Outreach supports sustainable clean water projects abroad. 

Through programs like Rotary Youth Exchange and Junior Achievement BizTown, we empower youth with opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. Guided by the Rotary principles of service, we strive to create lasting change in the communities we serve—locally and globally.
