The Club was founded in 2003 on the campus of Illinois Institute of Technology in historic Bronzeville.  Its original vision was to link the power of Rotary with the energy and excitement of university students, faculty and staff, while also engaging neighboring institutions and individuals in serving its South Side Community and the world. 

In July, 2023, we celebrated our 20th anniversary as a club, while also embracing a new mission as a virtual club, with members throughout Chicagoland.  However, we are still dedicated to working with organizations and individuals to help improve the health, well being and environment of our South Side neighbors.
