ABOUT ROTARY VOLUNTEERS
The ROTARY VOLUNTEERS program is the embodiment of Rotary's motto Service Above Self.
Rotarians are considered Rotary volunteers whenever they give their time and energy to provide a service to someone in need.
The ROTARY VOLUNTEERS program
-- encourages Rotarians to become actively involved in hands-on projects to use their vocational skills.
-- provides opportunities for Rotarians and other skilled professionals to offer their services and expertise to local and international humanitarian projects in need of assistance.
The ROTARY VOLUNTEERS program is implemented through the Avenue of Vocational Service and functions on three different levels:
-- At the CLUB level, Rotarians perform service projects and commit to filling volunteer needs in their communities.
-- At the DISTRICT level, Rotarians participate in both district and club service projects that require help from others in the district.
-- At the INTERNATIONAL level, Rotarians worldwide join together to work on a service project in another country.
ROTARY VOLUNTEERS are often the key to successful Rotary projects. Rotary Volunteers make a difference around the world:
-- Dentists and doctors from around the world have served at Rotary-sponsored medical and dental clinics in Bangladesh, Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, India, Jamaica, Kenya, and Thailand.
-- French volunteers have treated leprosy victims in Madagascar.
-- A theater arts director/teacher from the United States assisted in the implementation of a psychodrama program for the Psychological Assistance Center in Croatia.
-- A Thai librarian traveled to Egypt to work on the revival of the ancient library of Alexandria.
-- A Canadian livestock production manager provided advice to a commercial poultry farm in Ghana.
-- A Brazilian dentist has made multiple trips to provide dental care to orphans and villagers of Mexico.
-- A team of Indian Rotarians traveled to Western India during an earthquake aftermath and assisted the victims.
