About Us
Our club was founded in 1950 and has been an important part of the Duxbury community ever since, providing opportunities to serve others and raising money for important causes.
Duxbury Rotary was a key supporter of Club President Razia Jan when she founded her school for girls in Afghanistan, and we continue to support Razia's Ray of Hope Foundation.
Every year we run events like Team Trivia Night and the Bluefish River Duck Race to raise funds for Duxbury High School scholarships and for our Good Neighbor Fund, which helps those in the community in need.
In 2020 the Club partnered with Duxbury Interfaith Council to launch Duxbury for All, an initiative that aims to address issues of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the town, to help make it a more welcoming community for all. Read DfA's latest newsletter here. Our Club subscribes to Rotary International’s commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. View a summary of our recent DEI initiatives here (pdf).
In 2021 Duxbury for All launched the Duxbury Afghan Resettlement Initiative (DARI) that raises funds and provides facilities to host an Afghan refugee family in town.
In 2022 the Club added a Youth Programs Chair to begin collaboration with Duxbury Public Schools, and in 2023 we sponsored a new Boy Scout Troop in Town (Troop 1812).
If these are efforts that interest you, please consider joining! We meet twice a month to plan events, and we have regular social meetings with spouses and partners. Please contact our Membership Chair, Karl Kunz at the link below.
WE ARE A PROUD MEMBER OF ROTARY INTERNATIONAL, that has more than 1.2 million members around the globe, and has been the leader in eradicating polio, with support from the Gates Foundation.
