Empowering Ethical Vocational Service in Rotary Clubs

Vocational Service is a core Rotary Avenue of Service, emphasizing ethical standards, embracing all occupations, and using talents for societal needs.

Project ideas include talks, business tours, career fairs, mentoring, ethical promotion, and vocational awards. Vocational Service Month in October highlights year-long service activities. The Vocational Service Update newsletter informs about volunteering skills, supporting development, and promoting Rotary values. "An Introduction to Vocational Service" offers resources and project ideas, downloadable from rotary.org. District governors appoint Vocational Service chairs to coordinate service activities.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Vocational Service Vocational Service is one of Rotary’s Avenues of Service. Vocational Service calls every Rotarian to: • aspire to high ethical standards in their occupation; • recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations, and; • contribute their vocational talents to the problems and needs of society.

  2. Classification When professionals join a Rotary club, they do so as a representative of their classification – their particular business or profession. Rotarians have the dual responsibility of representing their vocation within the club and exemplifying the ideals of Rotary within the workplace.

  3. Ethics One of the central goals of Vocational Service is to promote and advance Rotary’s high ethical standards. Two useful tools Rotarians have to assess these standards are The Four-Way Test and The Rotary Code of Conduct.

  4. Project Ideas • Classification talks at club meetings • Tours of members’ businesses • Community career fairs and workshops • Mentor young people • Promote ethical behavior in business • Volunteer your vocation • Create a vocational award program

  5. Vocational Service Month Every October, Rotarians are encouraged to focus their attention on vocational service. Vocational Service Month is an opportunity to begin year-long vocational service activities, ranging from Rotary discussions to awards to community projects.
