Our Projects:
- Third grade dictionary project- we purchased 450 new dictionaries. Inside each book is the Rotary Four Way Test. Through the school scheduling, our Rotarians are able to meet the students and then hand them their own dictionary.
- Austintown Read Program- Retired teachers & local Rotarians volunteer 2 hours on Wednesdays, every week, to assist students to achieve better reading and grammar skills.
- Veterans Homeless Outreach Project- The Foundation and our Club were able to donate monies to assist Homeless Veterans in their travel to & from the VA, plus clothing & bedding.

- Austintown Rotary was Instrumental in $100,000.00 Community Grant: In 2016 , members of the Austintown Rotary began an initiative to explore how the club could leverage its experience and community reach to help facilitate communication between the townships businesses and administrators, as well as prospective employers and employees. The initiative fell under the general Rotary area of service of economic and community development. To read more on this project, click on this link.
