FOUR AVENUES OF SERVICE
    The term “Four Avenues of Service” is frequently used in Rotary literature and information.  The “Avenues” refer to the four elements of the Object of Rotary: Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service and International Service.
    Although the Avenues of Service are not found in any formal part of the constitutional documents of Rotary, the concept has been accepted as a means to describe the primary areas of Rotary activity.

    * “Club Service” involves all of the activities necessary for Rotarians to perform  to
       make their club function successfully.
    * “Vocational Service” is a description of the opportunity each Rotarian has to repre-
       sent  the dignity and utility of one’s vocation to the other members of the club.
    * “Community Service” pertains to those activities which Rotarians undertake to im-
       prove the quality of life in their community.  It frequently involves assistance to
       youth, the aged, handicapped and others who look to Rotary as a source of hope for
       a better life.
    * The Forth Avenue, “International Service,” describes the many programs and acti-
       vities which Rotarians undertake to advance international understanding, goodwill
       and peace.  International Service projects are designed to meet humanitarian needs
       of people in many lands.
 
     When a Rotarian understands and travels down the “Four Avenues of Service,” the Object of Rotary takes on even greater meaning.
