The Rotary Club of Trenton work very closely within their community, contributing their efforts and experience so they can direct the funds they raise towards Rotary’s areas of focus which also includes selected projects in Canada and internationally.

Community Service projects are local initiatives, activities and events that the Trenton Rotarians engage in to enhance the lives of those around them and living in their community. Some other examples of Rotary in action include their support with sweat equity at the Trenton Memorial Hospital (Emergency gardens), with Quinte Conservation, Quinte Trash Bash, and more. Membership is a cross section of experienced business, not-for-profit and professional community members, plus an ever-increasing complement of active young men and women to nurture and sustain the club going forward. Rotarians believe in strong fellowship, principally through their weekly meetings, where they explore and discuss a broad range of interesting topics, as well as through committee participation that helps to foster deeper friendships, mutual respect and understanding.
The Rotary Club of Trenton is always looking for new members that want to be active in their local community, forge new friendships, and support initiatives that help make Trenton a better place to work and live.
