Editor's Notes
- Alex - A Rotary Community Corps, or RCC, is a team of non-Rotarians who work in partnership with Rotary clubs to address a wide array of needs in the community. Sponsored by a Rotary club, an RCC leverages Rotary's network, its brand and its mentorship opportunities, while planning and implementing projects that improve their communities.

- Each year, Rotary surveys presidents whose clubs sponsor at least one RCC. These surveys show that RCCs experience higher levels of women engagement. For example, 42 % of the RCCs have mostly female members. RCCs also engage younger populations. 46% of RCC members are between the ages of 18-40. RCCs are also a great way of giving voice to disadvantaged groups in your community such as veterans, refugees, single parents, special needs adults etc.
- Benefits of RCCs
- Alex- Before I turn over to our distinguished panelists Tamara and Tom, I want to tell you a bit about my journey with the RCC program. Even though the RCC program has been utilized by thousands of Rotary clubs for the past 30+ years and I have been with Rotary for 20+ years, I only found out about it two years ago… [Alex talks about his journey]
- Tamara, now you tell our audience about the start of your RCC journey. What about you Tom? How did all start for you and your club?
- Tom, what type of projects does your RCC take on? What about your RCC, Tamara?

- Alex - We learned about two incredible examples from the US. Now, let’s look around the world to learn how RCCs are utilized. It depends on what the need in your community but RCCs can tackle a wide variety of issues facing your communities. An RCC in India offers vocational training to women where village women learn how to make wedding and engagement dresses and contribute their household with the money they make.
- Alex - An RCC in Japan works with local schools to organize disaster prevention classes for youth of all ages.
- Alex - An all-female RCC in Turkey was sponsored by a Rotary club to help grow small businesses of the village women which helped increase village women’s income as well as their confidence and involvement in the community.
- Start an RCC There’s lot of benefits Its not hard to do
- Alex – when you go back to your club, introduce the idea to your club and guide the process of forming an RCC. The process is SIMPLE! [refer to the slide]
