Rotary Club of Washington, DC Donates Dictionaries to 76,000 Students

Since 2005, the Rotary Club of Washington, DC has partnered with The Dictionary Project to promote literacy and empower youth through education. Over the past two decades, the club has distributed nearly 76,000 dictionaries to third grade students across the District of Columbia. This initiative is part of the club’s long-standing commitment to improving literacy and reducing youth violence through education, one of the core pillars of the DC Rotary Club Foundation. Each dictionary is more than just a book, it’s a stepping stone toward academic success, critical thinking, and stronger communication skills. The Washington, DC Rotary’s efforts have sparked enthusiasm in classrooms and contributed to creating a culture of learning citywide. Their legacy project continues to inspire students and teachers alike in the nation’s capital.
