The OBJECT OF ROTARY

Rotary encourages and fosters the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise through:

• Synergy created by men and women getting to know one another and joining together to serve their community.

• High ethical standards in personal and professional endeavors.

• Embodiment of Service Above Self in every aspect of a Rotarian’s life.

• International understanding, goodwill, and peace through world fellowship.

Service is at the core of Rotary – service within the community, the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today’s most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence.  They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, plus vocational and career development.
