Vocational Service is one of Rotary’s Five Avenues of Service. Vocational Service calls every Rotarian to:
aspire to high ethical standards in their occupation;
recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations, and;
contribute their vocational talents to the problems and needs of society.
When professionals join a Rotary club, they do so as a representative of their classification – their particular business or profession. Rotarians have the dual responsibility of representing their vocation within the club and exemplifying the ideals of Rotary within the workplace. During January, Rotarians are encouraged to focus on this important avenue of Rotary service.
