Community & Vocational Services

Rotary Ireland, serving the local community


Rotary International have decided to amalgamate the roles of Community and Vocational across Rotary.

Community and Vocational projects are our way of providing service to our local communities  and to ensure that we inspire and grow people around us.

Rotary in Ireland have a proud record in these areas and our Clubs participate in a variety of projects that contribute to  our communities in so many ways.
