Community Community ServiceService

“SERVICE”

Within Rotary we can consider “Service” as the act of giving back some of

what we have been fortunate to receive.

The Four Avenues of Service in Rotary

Club Service Within the scope of our own Club (Socials, Programs, in-club fundraising, etc.)

Community Service Within the scope of our “community” (Normally our city, but may be our district, province or country)

International Service World-wide, includes Rotary Foundation activities (student exchanges, GSE Teams, Polio Plus)

Vocational Service Based on the Classification system adopted by Rotary on its inception, education of members on other occupations or vocations.
