Duties

Community ServiceOnce described as the "heartbeat of Rotary," Community Service, the third Avenue of Service, is a multi-pronged effort to improve the quality of life within a village or municipality. Rotarians have long been making substantial and lasting contributions to their communities. To a large extent, Rotary's reputation is built on the Community Service projects undertaken by Rotarians.

Rotarians have been deeply involved in serving their communities since the establishment of the first club. The history of every Rotary club contains a record of projects reflecting the third part of Rotary's Object: "The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life."

Duties

The Community Service Director shall be responsible for overseeing all community service activities and shall supervise and coordinate the work of all committees appointed on particular phases of community service.

Community Service Committees

Operating under the Community Service are:

  • Human Development Committee — promotes the welfare of all human beings in the community.

  • Community Development Committee — undertakes service activities designed to build a better community physically.

  • Environmental Protection Committee — aims to "Preserve Planet Earth."

  • Partners in Service Committee — provides leadership training to Rotary-sponsored groups such as Rotaract and Interact clubs and Rotary Community Corps.

Literacy Month (July) and New Generations Month (September) fall under the Community Service. During these months, Rotary Clubs worldwide emphasize their commitment to literacy and youth with special projects and programs.
