An international club in Utrecht
With a diverse member base and English as the common language, the Rotary Club Utrecht International is a young, dynamic, and enterprising club.
Informal and close
The club's meetings are informal and contacts between members are close.
Diverse backgrounds
Members' nationalities range from Indian, Turkish, Mexican, and Chinese to German, English, and Dutch.
Working professionals
Our members work in academia, the corporate, and the public sector. The majority are under 40.
Our logo
Our logo was designed by one of the earliest members of RCUI, featuring a helping hand. Inside, there are symbols of the early projects of RCUI, as well as communicating people that depict the social aspect of our club as well as its passion to help others. In 2023, with the request of the district and the voting of our own members, the logo was updated with Rotary colors. The new logo uses the same hand silhouette from the original logo and its dominant feature of two people facing each other. This stands for not only the visual representation of our slogan “sharing a cross-cultural experience”, but also shows the connection and dialogue within our club.
