Every KS2 child in a RotaKids school can be an active member. There are usually two adult mentors per school: a teacher or teaching assistant acts as one of the adult mentors and the Rotary Club will assign a Rotarian as the second member (the RotaRep).

Most schools also like to launch RotaKids at an assembly or special school event where a RotaRep is willing to make an informative presentation. Each school receives a fruit tree and a Rotakids plaque to mark their involvement in Rotakids

Schools may form a RotaKids council, similar in format to a school council, which will come up with ideas and ‘manage’ the club with support from the mentors. Sometimes these are year 6 led, but with children from years 3,4,5 also in the team to provide continuity at the end of the school year. Each team will meet in school hours on a regular basis with the mentors to come up with and manage their ideas/projects.
