WE IMPLEMENT ROTARY THROUGH FIVE AVENUES OF SERVICE
 
 
 
 
Five Avenues of Service
The foundation of club activity and its commitment to Service Above Self are divided into the Five Avenues of Service.
Club Service
Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs. Club Service is the portal to the District’s database of members and activities.
Vocational Service
Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.
Community Service
Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.
International Service
International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from:
  • Providing disaster aid in the United States, Peru, Haiti, etc.
  • Contributing to PolioPlus
  • Helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
    Youth Service
    Youth Service, the newest avenue of service, recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities such as RYLA, Rotaract and Interact club service projects, and creating international understanding with Rotary Youth Exchange.

Avenues of Service

We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity.
  • Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.
  • Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Learn more in An Introduction to Vocational Service and the Code of Conduct.
  • Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. Learn more in Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects and this Community Service presentation (PPT).
  • International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
  • Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange
