Rotary’s Five Avenues of Service are the philosophical and practical framework for the work of this Rotary club.  Don't confuse the Five Avenues of Service with the Six Areas of Focus.

 

1.  Club Service - involves action a member should take within this club to help it function successfully.

 

2.  Vocational Service - has the purpose of promoting high ethical standards in businesses and professions, recognizing the worthiness of all dignified occupations, and fostering the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations.  The role of members includes conducting themselves and their businesses in accordance with Rotary's principles and lending their vocational skills to club-developed projects in order to address the issues and needs of society.

 

3.  Community Service - comprises varied efforts that members make, sometimes in conjunction with others, to improve the quality of life of those who live within the club's locality or municipality.

 

4.  International Service - comprises those activities that members do to advance international understanding, goodwill, and peace by fostering acquaintance with people of other countries, their cultures, customs, accomplishments, aspirations, and problems, through reading and correspondence and through cooperation in all club activities and projects designed to help people in other lands.

 

5.  Youth Service - recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults through leadership development activities, involvement in community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding.

What are the six areas of focus for Rotary International?  That's an excellent question!  Time to drop a "Rotary Knowledge Bomb."  Rotary's six areas of focus are:

 

1.  Peace and conflict prevention/resolution

2.  Disease prevention and treatment

3.  Water and sanitation

4.  Maternal and child health

5.  Basic education and literacy

6.  Economic and community development

 

 

There you have it!  The six areas of focus for Rotary International.
