Rotary District 5300 Disaster Relief

• A Rotary Community Corps (RCC) is a group of non-Rotarians who share our commitment to changing the world through service projects.
• RCC members plan and carry out projects in their communities in collaboration with local Rotary clubs.
• Sponsored by a Rotary club, an RCC leverages Rotary’s network, brand, and mentorship by partnering with clubs to plan and implement service projects.
• RCCs increase Rotary’s impact and expand its reach by bringing the knowledge and talents of local people to strengthen their community through sustainable projects.
• This could be an opportunity to promote the concept of Rotary International to the community and could be an initial step to create another Rotary club in the area

BENEFITS

 By joining or organizing an RCC, you can make a tremendous impact in your community. RCCs empower community members to take the lead in addressing their needs. Projects are more sustainable and have greater impact when community members are involved in their design, implementation, and long-term oversight.

• Through RCCs, clubs diversify participation in their service activities and help develop new leaders in the community

GOAL

• Promote sustainable solutions to community needs
• Support community members in addressing community needs while recognizing their unique ability to identify pressing concerns and appropriate solutions
• Develop partnerships between Rotarians and non-Rotarians in a joint effort to strengthen the community

MEMBERSHIP

• Membership into RCCs is open to any adult in the community who shares Rotary’s commitment to service but is not a Rotary member. Members can be comprised of individuals or an entire village, neighborhood, or community association that wants to work with a club on service projects.
• There will be NO COST to be a member of RCC.
