About Us

Mission Statement: The Cerritos-Artesia Rotary Club is a diverse group of professionals and community leaders committed to service, fellowship, and positive change. We strive to uplift our local and global communities through hands-on projects, youth leadership programs, and international partnerships, embodying Rotary’s guiding principle: Service Above Self.

Club History & Values: Founded in 1985, the Cerritos-Artesia Rotary Club began as a small but dedicated group of local leaders passionate about creating lasting change. While our roots are humble, our reach and impact have grown steadily through the decades. Today, we proudly uphold core values of service, fellowship, leadership, and community engagement, which guide every project and partnership we pursue.

As Rotarians, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, guided by the Rotary Four-Way Test of the things we think, say, or do:
  • Is it the TRUTH?
  • Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  • Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  • Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
