 Rotary Avenues of Service

The 5 Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical cornerstones and the foundation on which club activity is based:

• Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the club’s effective functioning.
• Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.
• Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community.
• International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.
• New Generations. This newly added category [2010 Council on Legislation] emphasizes service to youth and young adults. We hope it will expand our community reach and tap younger resources as future Rotarians.

Rotary also uses a set of guidelines called "The Four Way Test' to remind its members of the ethical standards and approach to service it advocates. It was adopted in 1943.

The Four-Way Test

"Of all the things we think, say or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
