HOST COUNSELOR INFORMATION

Rotarians are available to provide information and support to Rotary Peace Fellows before, during, and after their fellowship.

Host Counselor

Each Rotary Peace Fellow is assigned a Rotarian host counselor and a host Rotary club. This will connect Fellows to local Rotarians and Rotary activities during their fellowship term. Host counselors are appointed by the host area coordinator.

If you are a Rotarian interested in learning more about becoming a host counselor, please contact our Host Area Coordinator Newman Aguiar.

Host Area Coordinator

Each Rotary Peace Center has a designated host area encompassing the Rotary district where the center is located and surrounding districts. 

The host area coordinator is a Rotarian trained by The Rotary Foundation and is the primary contact between host area Rotarians and the Rotary Peace Center staff.

Our Center’s host area coordinator: Newman Aguiar

• Works with The Rotary Foundation to promote the Rotary Peace Center’s activities
