Rotary alumni by the numbers

In 2004-05, the most recent year for which numbers are available, Rotary clubs and districts provided leadership training for more than 20,000 young people through RYLA and supported approximately 410,000 service-minded youth in Interact and Rotaract clubs. Another 10,000 students and young professionals took part in study-abroad opportunities through Youth Exchange , Ambassadorial Scholarships , and Group Study Exchange .
According to a report written in March 2006 by the Membership Development Division, almost 58 percent of clubs admit they don't recruit program alumni for membership. Of the clubs that claim to recruit membership, nearly half have no alumni members. This means that only 22 percent of clubs both claim to recruit alumni and actually have alumni in them.
The following are the average ages of alumni from different Rotary programs when they first joined Rotary and the years that passed between ending their program and joining a Rotary club (source Report on the Recruitment of RI and TRF Alumni as Prospective Rotarians. Membership Development Division. March 2006):
