Vocational Services Month

Vocational Service Month encourages Rotarians to use our professional skills and expertise to serve the community, promote ethical practices, and mentor and inspire others.

Vocational Service encourages us to:

Adhere to high ethical standards in our professional and personal lives, inspiring others through our words and actions
Recognize the value of all skills and occupations
Bring our ideal of Doing Good in the World to our jobs
Use our occupations to improve and empower communities
Help others develop skills and explore new career opportunities and interests

During January, Rotarians are encouraged to focus on this important avenue of Rotary service:

Devote a meeting in January to examine Vocational Service, including The Four-Way Test and The Declaration of Rotarians in Business and Professions. After expanding members' awareness, solicit their input in planning projects for the remainder of the year.

Introduce a member vocational speaker series in which each member gives a five-minute talk on his or her vocation. Schedule one speaker for the beginning of each meeting until everyone has made a presentation. The purpose of these talks is to promote vocational awareness among Rotarians and help them recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations.

Present a vocational award to someone in the community who has exemplified outstanding professional achievement while maintaining very high ethical standards. Promote the presentation within the community and consider making it an annual event.

Invite experts to give a presentation on the vocational needs of the community and develop a project in response to those needs. Possible projects could focus on developing character, providing career information to youth, mentoring small businesses, or organizing workshops that provide employees with new skills.

RYLA University 2025 - Success

From June 26 to 29, over 120 high schoolers from our district and District 7490 participated in our Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) program, presented by the Rotaract Club of Leadership and Service in Caldwell University. These exceptional students, hailing from our largest cities to our smaller towns, demonstrated enthusiasm, respect, caring, and endless energy throughout the four days. They experienced the Rotary motto of Service Above Self, learned and practiced teambuilding and leadership skills, built friendships with each other, and prepared to start their journey towards becoming future leaders.
