Membership
We are the newest Rotaract club on Long Island and the only one dedicated to the environment. Our members come from diverse backgrounds throughout Nassau County, and each brings a unique skill set to the group.
We are currently accepting new members, and we'd love to have you join our team. What skills do you have that can help further our mission? Maybe you're talented at social media. Maybe you have a wide network to share our message with. Or perhaps you love getting your hands dirty for a good cause. Whatever you bring to the table, our table is open and we need you!
