Rotary Club of Ankara International

Our members

A club is its people.

Members come from different professions and different countries, and meet in English. What they share is a willingness to give an evening — and then a Saturday — to something outside themselves.

Membership

Could this be your club?

We are looking for a handful of members this term — people whose profession adds something the club does not yet have, and whose instinct is to turn up rather than to watch.

Talk to us about joining

  • Attend meetings regularly and contribute to a committee

  • Take an active part in projects, not only in planning them

  • Recommend prospective members and follow club communication

  • Represent Rotary values, and keep fellowship and service alive

Membership dues for the 2026–27 term are 4,000 TL, adjusted from 3,000 TL last term for inflation.
