VOCATIONAL SERVICE
2009-2010
This year we have been asked by RI President Kenny to emphasize Rotary's unique vocational service commitment by demonstrating our strong commitment to high ethical standards in our professional lives. We can provide a model for our colleagues, our employees, and our customers and distinguish Rotary from other service and humanitarian organizations. Three goals have been established to accomplish this.
- Start or support a youth mentorship program in your club and have at least 10 percent of the club's members personally mentor a young person in vocational skills and business ethics.
- Start or support a career counseling and development program in your club and invite participants from the community to attend. Have at least 10 percent of the club's members actively participate and help participants improve their vocational skills and compete in the job market.
- Have at least one club member register as a Rotary Volunteer and use Rotary's projectLINK data base to locate an appropriate project.
Strong leaders are essential to Rotary's future and each of us should strive to be better leaders in our clubs, our professions, and our communities. We have also been asked to implement two programs that will help to optimize leadership talents within Rotary International.
- Create a leadership development program that at least 5 percent of club members complete. The RI publication Leadership Development: Your guide to Starting a Program (250) offers suggestions.
- Cultivate leadership opportunities for youth by having at least 5 percent of club members sponsor a participant in a Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) event or sponsor or host a Youth Exchange student, Ambassadorial Scholar, or Rotary World Peace Fellow.
