Our Mission Statement:

The Rotary Club of South Pasadena is a dynamic community of leaders, neighbors, and change-makers united in service, friendship, and purpose. In alignment with Rotary International’s 2025–2026 theme, Unite for Good, and our local focus, Peace – Unite for Good, we are committed to building a more just, educated, and sustainable world. Through hands-on service and bold partnerships, we advance positive peace, expand access to basic education and literacy, and protect the environment for future generations. By empowering youth, supporting vulnerable communities, and bridging divides, we create lasting impact - starting in South Pasadena and reaching across the globe.

September is Basic Education & Literacy Month!

All month, Rotary clubs around the world are championing the power of knowledge, opening doors to opportunity, and helping communities thrive. We’re investing in the future by supporting learning at every stage of life: from children discovering the joy of reading to adults building new skills.

Here in South Pasadena, we’re committed to advancing education, empowering young minds, and ensuring everyone has access to the tools they need to succeed. Together, we’re not just teaching literacy- we’re lighting pathways to brighter futures.
