Community & Vocational Service

Community Service

Community service is the traditional and well-known face of Rotary. It covers help and advice to the aged, the handicapped, the infirm, young people and all those in need, either directly or through local charitable organisations. Environmental projects are part of community service.

Vocational Service

Vocational service draws on the ethical standards, experience and expertise that Rotarians have through their work.

Vocational projects support training and job development, provide mock interviews, encourage the development of skills in employment and foster the highest standards in business and the professions.
