 These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction.  They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world. 

The Object of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

 

  • FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
  • SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
  • THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
  • FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a neutral and open ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. 


The Rotary Four-Way Test is recited at our club meetings and functions.   The Four-Way Test is an adaptive process.  It takes into account everyone's point-of-view and concerns, as well as their needs and wants. 


The process is designed to build goodwill and earn trust so a particular end result is mutually beneficial, sustainable, and has scalable outcomes.  


Is it the TRUTH? TRUST. 

From the Rotarian Code of Conduct, act with integrity and high ethical standards.   Acknowledge and define the problem including the root causes.  Collect information and apply critical thinking by asking questions to identify the difference between facts, beliefs, assumptions, and opinions.  Moreover,  be a trusted problem solver.


Is it FAIR to all concerned? ACCOUNTABILITY.  

Keep in mind both the Golden Rule and the Platinum Rule. Identify and include all interested and affected parties.  Try to understand the other point-of-views in the context of conflict and reaching shared goals.


Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? FELLOWSHIP. 

Rotarians are known for being sociable and building relationships.  Ensure the process is civil and there’s a feeling of respect and openness to ask questions that can lead to creative and innovative solutions.  Discuss and agree on desired outcomes. 


Will it BENEFICIAL to all concerned? EMPATHY. 

Have an open mind and a curiosity for new ideas, novel applications, and different point-of-views.  Consider many options and build on different ideas.  Come to mutually beneficial solutions that are sustainable and scalable.

Avenues of Service

 We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity. 

Club Service 

Focuses on making clubs strong.  A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.


Vocational Service 

Calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. 


Community Service 

Encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. 


International Service 

Exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding.  We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.


Youth Service 

Recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
