About Our Club

The Rotary Club of Wall Street New York was chartered on January 29, 2010, and then re-chartered itself as an E-Club in 2018 to be more inclusive of its dedicated global supporters.

We are proud of our history & accomplishments and look forward to joining future Rotarians from around the world to make a difference in our shared community.
