A Rotary Community Corps 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 and support local Rotary club projects.
There are more than 10,000 corps in 100 countries. RCCs are active everywhere Rotary is present: in urban and rural areas, and in both developed and developing countries.
What’s involved?
By joining or organizing an RCC, you can make a tremendous impact in your community.
How do I join an RCC?
RCCs can exist anywhere a local Rotary club sponsors one. You can find an RCC in your area by contacting your local Rotary club. If there isn’t a community corps, discuss the idea of starting one with your local Rotary club president. Learn more about what you can do through a Rotary Community Corps.
How do I sponsor an RCC?
By sponsoring an RCC, you’re giving more people a chance to take action to solve your community’s problems. Fill out an organization form and email it to Rotary International.
How do I form an RCC?
You can form an RCC anywhere community members are interested in working with Rotary. Here are some guidelines:
- Work with other local residents to identify the community’s greatest needs using this assessment form.
- Work with your local Rotary club to outline how you will work together.
- Recruit RCC members. Start with a core group of members. Community organizations and nongovernmental agencies are good places to recruit.
