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.
