Alumni Digital Community
Provides a moderated, preference-based online home for alumni to exchange opportunities and support without exposing personal profiles or creating another noisy group chat.
What could this idea change?
Geographically dispersed alumni can sustain peer support and mobilise expertise quickly for community needs.

What should we look for?
- Consenting alumni completing onboarding.
Before we say yes
- Does it fit a real local need?
- Can people take part safely and fairly?
- Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
- Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
