AVENUES OF SERVICE
For years, Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self
has been channeled through the four Avenues of
Service, which form the foundation of club activity.
Club Service
Club Service focuses on strengthening of fellowship and
ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.
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. Read the Community Service Story
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 contributing to PolioPlus to helping
Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host
countries.
New Generations (Formerly Youth Service)
Now an official Avenue of Service, New Generations
Service fosters the application of the tenants of Rotary
by sponsoring service projects with young people of our
community.
InterAct - high school students/middle school & junior
high students (Gregori High and Salida Middle School)

The Rotary Foundation
The funding arm of the organization, the Rotary
Foundation supports humanitarian projects here and
around the world, including Rotary's efforts to eradicate
POLIO worldwide.
