International Service
Service to International programs offers a broad range of humanitarian, intercultural, and educational programs and opportunities designed to improve the human condition and advance Rotary's ultimate goal of world understanding and peace. Structured Rotary International programs and service opportunities help clubs achieve their service goals in their own communities and in communities abroad, fostering fellowship and goodwill in the process.
