SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY

Model United Nations. A two day seminar gives students grade 9-12 in our Rotary District the chance to experience near real-world interaction by nations of the world. A great learning experience for the future leaders of our country. Eugene Rotary was only the 2nd in the US after San Diego to spearhead this important learning experience. So successful, it is to become an important event in the District as well. More.

Art Spark Eugene. Supporting arts education in the Eugene 4J School District. This club with a partnership with Lane Arts Council and Eugene Education Foundation has gone from 2 to ALL the elementary schools supporting the artists in residence program with one Gala Art Auction. That’s thousands of kids now getting arts education. More

Eugene has a new skatepark. It is the largest covered and lighted skatepark in the United States and cost 2.5 million dollars. This is a reality because the Rotary Club of Eugene became involved from the beginning. Recognizing the need for the skatepark to support youth, enhance a neighborhood and create economic development, the club championed the effort until it was completed.

Skinner Butte Park was saved and is now maintained as part of the club’s yearly efforts. State of the art Riverplay children’s playground was a club project. As was the Hult Center, Cuthbert Amphitheater, Tugman Park and Alton Baker Park.

The club supports Food for Lane County,  Mini Homes and many other civic projects. The Rotary Club of Eugene supports Education and the Arts in area schools. The club is involved with International Youth Exchange Scholarships, local youth scholarships, Peace Scholarships, higher education initiatives and Children With Special Needs. The club supports Rotary’s Interact and Rotaract Youth Groups. The list of projects and community support continues and expands each year.

The Original Rotary Club of Eugene is one of the main pillars of this community and has been so for nearly 100 years!

SERVICE TO THE WORLD

Polio is right on the verge of complete eradication in the world. $100s of millions have been spent on the effort. And Rotary International has been the pivitol organization to see that happen. When there is a disaster somewhere in the world Rotary sends in Shelter Boxes. In that box are shelter, food, tools and everything needed to keep a family or group of people well for 3 months.

Rotary International and World Peace. Rotary created Peace Centers around the world providing certification and Masters Degrees in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution. The creation of the UN was a Rotary Project.
Rotary International and local clubs all support these international efforts through donations and grants.

Local Rotary Clubs support efforts in underdeveloped areas of the world and our country for water wells, cooking stoves, sanitation, housing, education and medical services.

Education is a huge part of Rotary in the US and throughout the world. Rotary International has a network of scholarships worldwide that provides student opportunities. Rotary Clubs build parks, music centers, schools, camps. And just about anything where there is a need.

The Arts are supported by Rotary in meaningful ways.
Rotary is the most widespread service organization in the world. If a person wants to do good in the world, Rotary is the best way to get involved and make a real difference.
