THE CONCEPT OF VOCATIONAL SERVICE
The Object of Rotary (see previous page) is a philosophical statement
of Rotary’s purpose and the responsibilities of Rotarians. The concept
of vocational service is rooted in the second object, which calls on
Rotarians to encourage and foster:
• High ethical standards in business and professions
• The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations
• The dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an
opportunity to serve society
As a Rotarian, how can you put these ideals into action? Consider
these suggestions:
• Talk about your profession in your club, and take time to
learn about fellow members’ occupations.
• Use your skills and expertise to serve a community.
• Practice your profession with integrity, and inspire others to
behave ethically through your words and actions.
• Help young people achieve their career goals.
• Guide and encourage others in their professional
development.
By undertaking these activities, you bring vocational service to life. Vocational service is the essence of Rotary
and serves as the foundation from which we serve our communities around the world.

Find inspiring examples of ways to take action through vocational service. Consider doing some of the described activities
