Many of the Melissa Prandi Children Foundation Team are also members of Rotary International
Who are Rotarians?
We are People of Action
Rotary International is a global network of more than 1.2 million neighbors, friends, and leaders volunteer their skills and resources to solve issues and address community needs. For more than a century, Rotary has bridged cultures and connected continents. We champion peace, fight illiteracy and poverty, help people get access to clean water and sanitation, and fight disease. Our newest cause is to protect our planet and its resources.
“Rotarians” are proud members of Rotary International while “Rotaractors” are members as young leaders (under 30 years old). We at Melissa Prandi Children Foundation share a similar mission as we are dedicated to community service, education, professional development, and creating positive change.
