One of the programs in Rotary’s panoply of worldwide service activities and projects is the Rotary Community Corps. Formerly known as Rotary Village Corps (or Rotary Community Service Corps in urban areas), this form of grass-roots self-help service was initiated by RI President M.A.T. Caparas in 1986 as a means of improving the quality of life in villages, neighborhoods and communities. Frequently there is an abundance of available labor but no process to mobilize men and women to conduct useful projects of community improvement.
A Rotary Community Corps is a Rotary club-sponsored group of non-Rotarians who desire to help their own community by conducting service projects. Rotarians provide guidance, encouragement, organizational structure and some of the material assistance for the Rotary Community. Corps, which in turn contributes the manpower to help its own community. Thus, the Rotary Community Corps is another way for Rotarians to serve in communities of great need.
In depressed urban areas, groups of committed citizens can benefit from the organizational and managerial skills of Rotarians when undertaking valuable self-help community projects.
The Rotary Community Corps program offers another dimension to the concept of service to improve the quality of life.
