Rotary Community Corps (RCC)

Since 1985, the Rotary Community Corps program has been spurring economic development and self-sufficiency in communities around the world. Corps can be rural or urban and may comprise an entire village or community or a smaller group within the community. Geographic location has no bearing on the feasibility of an RCC — they are appropriate anywhere Rotarians and non-Rotarians want to work together.

All RCCs share four major goals:

To encourage individuals to take responsibility for the improvement of their community, village, or neighborhood.
To recognize the dignity and value of all useful occupations.
To mobilize self-help activities and collective work to improve the quality of life.
To encourage the development of human potential to its fullest, within the context of the local culture and community.

The purpose of the RCC program is to:

Promote grassroots self-help projects
Develop local leadership abilities;
Maximize local resources; and
Use appropriate cost-efficient technology.
