Sponsor a Rotary Community Corps
to Prioritize Local Environmental Projects
A Rotary Community Corps (RCC) is a group of non-Rotary members who share our commitment to changing the world through service projects. RCC members partner with Rotary clubs to plan and carry out projects in their communities. Think about forming an RCC in your community with a focus on the environment. It’s a way to engage your neighbors and friends who may not be interested in becoming a Rotarian, but who want to do environmental projects. By elevating the knowledge, voices, and talents of local people with deep awareness about local environmental priorities, we can co-design sustainable projects with long-term community support to advance environmental priorities.

Have you wondered how you can join in the District Environmental Sustainability Team’s efforts to help clubs plan and carry out environmental projects? It’s very easy. Give me a call and I’ll tell you what we’re doing and I’ll explain how to join our next team meeting on Zoom on Tuesday, August 13, at 7:00 p.m.
We will be brainstorming ways to get more clubs involved in environmental projects that go beyond highway, stream, trail, and park cleanups, particularly planting pollinator gardens and community gardens, plastics recycling, and tree plantings. We will also be discussing new programs to roll out for clubs including developing projects on keeping food waste out of landfills. We would love to have you join in the fun. Everyone is welcome.
