About Us

The Rotary Club of Ballarat - Young Ambition is a club with a difference.

We meet 5.30pm for 6.30pm Thursday nights at Portico, Dana St, Ballarat

We are a member club of Rotary International and are located in Ballarat, Victoria Australia. Young Ambition was chartered on the 31 August 2002. Consistent hard work by a range of people has produced a highly successful and innovative networking and community based service club.

Young Ambition is the newest club in the Ballarat district, however we already have a proud history of success in both fundraising activities and member networking. Our plans for the future are bold and exciting and all our members are committed to making Young Ambition a highly successful community group.

Across Australia, civic groups such as Rotary are struggling to recruit and retain members - despite the fact that Australian’s say they’re interested in helping the community.

This is why Young Ambition is different! We understand that young people today are not interested in the rituals of traditional service organisations, because we are young people ourselves. Young Ambition is a club for young professionals in Ballarat under the age of 40. We have an extremely wide membership base from a range of industries and professions, which gives us the ability to achieve great objectives for our community.

Young Ambition meets weekly on Thursday nights at 6.30pm (social drinks between 5.30 and 6.30). Unlike traditional Rotary club meetings, Young Ambition meetings are very informal and resemble after work drinks rather than a meeting.

So if you are interested in being involved in:

  • networking with like professionals;
  • helping your community;
  • and forming a social network

then you are invited to learn more about Young Ambition by attending one of our meetings or by contacting the secretary of our club: Send the secretary an email.

We look forward to meeting you!
