Introducing the New Rotary Storytelling Guide

Rotary clubs do incredible work every day — and now there’s an easier way to share your impact with your community. The new Rotary Storytelling Guide is designed to help clubs craft clear, compelling stories that inspire action and showcase the difference Rotary makes.

The guide walks your club through five simple questions:

  1. What are you trying to accomplish? Describe the challenge your club is addressing.

  2. Who is your audience? Think beyond Rotary members — who do you want to reach?

  3. How did you take action? Highlight your club’s efforts using action-driven language.

  4. What was your impact? Share the results and the difference you made.

  5. What do you want your audience to do? End with a clear call-to-action.

The accompanying worksheet allows your club to fill in answers and quickly turn them into a complete story. Whether you are creating social media posts, newsletters, or website content, this tool makes it easy to communicate the heart of your projects.

Why it matters: Stories are more than updates — they connect your work to your community, attract support, and inspire others to get involved. By using this guide, your club can share its impact in a way that’s meaningful, concise, and engaging.
