Avenues of Service

The "Avenues of Service" refers to the core areas where Rotarians focus their efforts to fulfill Rotary's mission of "Service Above Self." These five avenues are Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service, International Service, and Youth Service.

Here's a brief overview of each avenue:
Club Service:
This focuses on making the Rotary club strong and effective through activities like membership growth, fellowship, and club administration.
Vocational Service:
This encourages Rotarians to use their professions to serve society, promoting ethical business practices and recognizing the value of all vocations.
Community Service:
This involves Rotarians improving the quality of life in their local communities through various projects and initiatives.
International Service:
This focuses on fostering international understanding and promoting peace through projects and activities that connect Rotary clubs globally.
Youth Service:
This recognizes the important contributions of youth and young adults to Rotary through programs like Rotaract and Interact, and empowers them to make a difference.
