Community Service & Vocational

Service defines Rotary's character; whether local or international, it promotes Rotary's appeal and visibility in the community, and is the reason Rotary continues to grow.

Community service responds to the needs of a local community. Rotary clubs determine top priorities for service projects by first learning about a community's needs and assets, and then developing a response that addresses them.

Our measure of being an effective, community service is to :

• Respond to a real issue, not an imagined one.

• Improve the lives of community members.

• Incorporate the abilities of those who are served.

• Recognize all participants' contributions as important and necessary.

• Come from a realistic assessment of resources available.

• Aim for specific goals and objectives with measurable results.

• Build a working network.
