Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution.

Rotary Works
for World Peace

Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders promoting national and international cooperation, peace, and the successful resolution of conflict throughout their lives, in their careers, and through service activities. Fellows can earn either a master’s degree in international relations, public administration, sustainable development, peace studies, conflict resolution, or a related field, or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict resolution.

Rotary also builds world understanding through international scholarships and vocational exchange programs. Every year, it sends up to 1,000 students and professionals to study abroad in more than 60 countries.

Rotary’s program alumni work in a range of areas including grassroots and nongovernmental organizations, national governments, militaries, police forces, and international organizations such as the United Nations, World Bank, International Organization for Migration, and Organization of American States. Graduates also enjoy the support of a growing worldwide network of fellow alumni committed to building peace.

Rotary Peace Fellows are leaders who promote national and international
cooperation and peace in their careers and throughout their lives. The Rotary Peace Fellowship offers qualified individuals the opportunity to earn either a master’s degree in a variety of fields or a professional development certificate in peace and conflict resolution.
