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.
International Rotary Volunteers
Through the Rotary Volunteers program, Rotarians and other professionals use their vocational skills and experience to contribute to humanitarian projects wherever help is needed. As international Rotary Volunteers, Rotarians and other service-minded people worldwide join forces to work on a project in another country, fulfilling the International Avenue of Service.
World Community Service
Through World Community Service (WCS), Rotary clubs in two or more countries assist each other with service projects. WCS projects must be humanitarian in nature.
Rotarian Action Groups
Rotarian Action Groups are groups of Rotarians dedicated to common causes who conduct international service projects that further the Object of Rotary. If you’re interested in supporting a particular type of service activity, there may be a Rotarian Action Group for you.
President’s resource groups
Each year, the RI president selects areas of focus to guide service projects. For the past several years, resource groups have addressed issues ranging from water to literacy.
