Throughout Rotary’s rich history, Rotarians have strived to achieve the ideal of Service Above Self. Rotary’s Avenues of Service form the foundation on which all club activity is based.

  • Through Club Service, we have fun, build lasting friendships, and make sure that our club functions well.
  • Through Vocational Service, we volunteer our professional skills to serve others and promote integrity in everything we do.
  • Through Community Service, we address local needs and work with our community to bring lasting improvements.
  • Through International Service, we meet humanitarian needs around the globe and promote world understanding and peace.
  • Through New Generations Service, we work with young people to help them become the next generation of leaders, visionaries, and peacemakers.
