Rotary Volunteers, Ang Bag-O Nga Patiyog - October 9, 2010

Rotary Volunteers is one of Rotary International’s structured programs which are designed to help clubs and districts achieve their service goals in their own communities and in communities abroad, fostering fellowship and goodwill in the process. (http://www.rotary.org/)

The Rotary Volunteers program allows Rotarians to carry out the Rotary ideal of Service Above Self by contributing their time and skills to all types of volunteer activities.

Rotary Volunteers serve wherever needed

•At home, assisting with their club’s community service projects
•Abroad, assisting humanitarian missions

Rotary Volunteer Goals

•Encourage and facilitate participation in all types of volunteer activities.
•Increase awareness of volunteer opportunities.
•Help clubs and districts realize the benefits of using volunteers in their service projects, and assist in the identification of volunteers.
Improve quality of life worldwide through humanitarian service.
•Cultivate international understanding and goodwill.

The Rotary Volunteers program is an integral part of a club’s balanced service program, which encompasses all Avenues of Service – club, vocational, community, and international.
Club and district Rotary Volunteers committees administer the program.

RI supports the program by providing information and resources and by maintaining a registry of international volunteers and projects.

Inviting international volunteers to serve at your club’s project can bring many benefits :
•Technical knowledge and professional expertise
•Fellowship opportunities
•Potential support from a volunteer’s club

VOLUNTEERING IS A TOUGH JOB.
BUT IT IS REWARDING & FULFILLING!!!
