The main objective of Rotary is service – in the community,
in 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, and
vocational and career development. The Rotary
motto is Service Above Self. |
