Communtiy Services

Community Service defines Rotary’s character, is the basis for its appeal and visibility in the community, and is the reason Rotary continues to grow. Community Service responds to the needs of the local community. The top Community Service priorities for clubs are best determined by examining the assets and needs in the local community and developing a response. This ensures that Rotary will not function in isolation, but be an active part of the community with projects that are relevant and effective.

The approach to selecting and implementing a service project can be the same regardless of what issue the club decides to address. The following steps can help our clubs to truly identify their niche in the community and to develop effective service projects.
