Community Service Community service is one of the Avenues of Service which encourages Rotarians to offer service to their communities. Every Rotary club and every Rotarian assumes a responsibility to find ways to improve the quality of life for those in their communities and to serve the public interest.
What is Community Service? • Encouraging and fostering the ideal of service to the personal, business and community life of every Rotarian. • Opportunities for every Rotarian to exemplify “Service Above Self”. • A chance to respond to the needs of a local community.
Community Service Projects • Are relevant to the community • Serve as a learning experience for Rotarians • Identify a Rotary club’s role in its community • Determine how Rotarians can help with the resources at hand
District Structure The district Community Service chair coordinates and promotes club community service projects within the district. The chair: • works with clubs; • encourages district-wide participation; • shares information and ideas with Rotarians in the district.
