Be a Gift to the World  through vocational service

 

RI President K.R. Ravindran encourages us to use our gifts — talents, knowledge, abilities, and efforts to make a significant impact through fellowship and service activities. Through vocational service, we champion high ethical standards in the workplace, use our professional expertise to serve others, and improve local and international communities. Here are just a few ideas for activities your clubs can undertake:

• Host a business networking event with non-Rotarian professionals in your community.
• Offer career counseling for unemployed or underemployed adults.
• Mentor youth with career guidance.
• Recognise local businesses for high ethical standards.
• Apply your professional skills to a project.

Review the humanitarian service goals to learn how your vocational service projects can help your club qualify for the 2015-16 Presidential Citation.
