About our club in English

Helsinki Finlandia Hall is a vibrant morning Rotary club founded in 1996 at Finlandia Hall. The club has 70 members, including our satellite club, Finlandia Hall Impact.

We value diversity and enjoy a balanced gender distribution. Our service work focuses on three key areas:

• youth leadership and wellbeing

• international cooperation

• climate action, with a special emphasis on protecting the Baltic Sea.

Club meetings: Thursday morning for breakfast at Hotel Vaakuna on the 10th floor from 7:30 to 8:45. Our program can be found here.

Our meetings are forward-looking and feature inspiring speakers who explore emerging trends and the world ahead.

Each year, we support two exchange students. Our service projects have included Silakkasoutu rowing and hiking event (Rowing for the Baltic Herring) to support the Baltic Sea, ShelterBox donations, support for children in Ukraine, and a mental wellbeing education program in cooperation with Aseman Lapset. We have also organized the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) course for high school students six times.

Our club has two twin clubs: Morimondo Abbazia in Italy and Stockholm Capital in Sweden.
