WHO IS LAUNCHOCEANSIDE?

Created by the Oceanaside Rotary Club, LaunchOceanside strives to develop successful entrepreneurs who have limited access to financial and business resources.

Our program is modeled after LaunchDETROIT, a successful community building program created in 2013 by Rotary leaders in Detroit.

WHO IS ROTARY?

We are a community service and global humanitarian organization located in over 200 countries. Since 1905 Rotarians have attracted business leaders, leaders of non-profits and service focused volunteers. We do projects in our community and around the world and exchange ideas on how we can make an impact.

WHO IS OCEANSIDE ROTARY AND ROTARY DISTRICT 5340?

Our club is made up of 40 men and women who join together to serve our community and have fun. We often work in conjunction with 61 other local clubs across San Diego County forming Rotary District 5340. Across the world there are 1.2 million friends and neighbors who proudly call themselves Rotarians.
