The RCC (1988) was envisioned by Rotary International as an organization of community members who wish to improve the places where they live or work. More than ever, Rotary clubs around the world are extending the spirit of Rotary service through their work with the RCC program to more than 6,200 corps around 73 countries.
The RCC program goals are: (1) to encourage individuals to take responsibility for the improvement of their village, neighborhood, or community. Rotarians serves as facilitator while RCC members identify the needs and give solutions; (2) to recognize the dignity and value of all useful occupations. Members of RCC should take pride in their vocation and do their best to recognize each other’s potential; (3) to mobilize self-help activities and collective work to improve the quality of life. Rotarians advises the members to take initiative, to work in team and to empower them to be self-motivated group and; (4) to encourage the development of human potential to its fullest, within the context of the local culture and community. Rotarians teach 
and guide RCC members to become worthwhile members and productive citizens of the society.
For over a century, Rotarians have devoted themselves to improving their local communities by seeking resources and by bridging communities and continents. Thru the help of Rotary International and their club members, Rotarians embrace the challenges of these humanitarian service efforts with compassion and a commitment to providing long-term sustainable solutions.

Every community’s needs are different, but what unites an RCC’s members is the idea that no problem is too large to solve. The forming of Rotary Community Corp in Brgy. Talon is a way of taking pride of their community. A Rotary Community Corps (RCC) is a team of non-Rotarian men and women who are committed to their community’s long-term economic development and self-sufficiency. Its main principle is to enable community members to personally address and solve problems in their community. Most concerns in the community are illiteracy, lack of safe water, hunger/malnutrition, lack of clean toilets, and inadequate housing. This and many other concerns of the community will be given utmost attention once the Talon RCC of RC Roxas will become visible. An RCC works with its sponsoring Rotary club to consult with the local community, identify needs, and plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate a service project.
