The following programs and service opportunities are designed to help Rotarians meet needs in their own communities and reach out to assist people in need, worldwide.

INTERACT: Rotary Clubs organize and sponsor this service organization for youth ages 14 to 18; more than 8,300 clubs in 109 countries.

ROTARACT: Rotary Clubs organize and sponsor this leadership, professional development, and service organization for young adults, ages 18 to 30; more than 7,200 clubs in 152 countries.

ROTARY COMMUNITY CORP (RCC): Rotary Clubs organize and sponsor these groups of non-Rotarians who work to improve their communities; almost 4,500 RCCs in 68 countries.

ROTARY FELLOWSHIPS: International recreational, vocational, and health related groups open to all Rotarians and spouses sharing common interests; approximately 75 fellowships.

ROTARY FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE: Rotarians and their families make reciprocal visits to other countries, staying in each other's homes and learning about the culture firsthand.

ROTARY VOLUNTEERS: While every Rotarian is a volunteer, hundreds of those with special skills and experience volunteer their services abroad for short periods every year, via Rotary International.

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE: Clubs and districts sponsor and host students ages 15 to 19 who travel abroad for an academic year or an extended holiday; about 7,000 per year.

ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS: Clubs and districts sponsor seminars to encourage and recognize leadership abilities of youth and young adults ages 14 to 30.

WORLD COMMUNITY SERVICE (WCS): Rotary clubs and districts form international partnerships to provide assistance with a service project to a club or district in another country; many such projects receive funding from Rotary Foundation Humanitarian Programs grants.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL recommends that clubs planning service activities consider 9 major needs or concerns: Children at Risk, Disabled Persons, Health Care, International Understanding and Goodwill, Literacy and Numeracy, Population Issues, Poverty and Hunger, Preserve Planet Earth, and Urban Concerns.

First is a commitment to all humanity, extending COMPASSION and PRACTICAL AID to those whose lives have been afflicted by poverty, disease, ignorance, and natural disaster. It is OUR business to offer workable solutions to the problems that plague mankind. It is our business to help people whose very existence is threatened by forces beyond their control as well as those who simply need a little assistance to get their lives on track. It is Rotary’s business to improve the quality of life in each one of our 30,000 communities.
