RCC members plan and carry out projects in their communities in collaboration with local Rotary clubs. Sponsored by a Rotary club, an RCC leverages Rotary’s network, brand, and mentorship by partnering with clubs to plan and implement service projects. RCCs increase Rotary’s impact and expand its reach by bringing the knowledge and talents of local people to strengthen their community through sustainable projects. There are more than 12,000 corps in 105 countries and 257 districts. RCCs are active everywhere Rotary is present: in urban and rural areas, and in both developed and developing countries. Program Goals- Promote sustainable solutions to community needs
- Support community members in addressing community needs while recognizing their unique ability to identify pressing concerns and appropriate solutions
- Develop partnerships between Rotarians and non-Rotarians in a joint effort to strengthen the community
What are the benefits?By joining or organizing an RCC, you can make a tremendous impact in your community. RCCs empower community members to take the lead in addressing their needs. Projects are more sustainable and have greater impact when community members are involved in their design, implementation, and long-term oversight. Through RCCs, clubs diversify participation in their service activities and help develop new leaders in the community. RCCs can be created to address an identified need in the short-term through a service project or to address various local needs through ongoing service projects.
