Service is Core to Milpitas Rotarians

One of the core reasons why folks become rotarians is the belief that we can make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community and around the world. We do this by encouraging each other and others, and by fulfilling the Rotary Ideal of Service Above Self. 

In our club, we pursue this through our 5 Avenues of Service: 
  • Club Service
  • Vocational Service
  • Community Service
  • International Service
  • Youth Service

Club Service

Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.
  • Fundraising
  • Social / Club Connections

Vocational Service

Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society.

Community Service

Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest.

International Service

International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
  • KIVA support
    • In August 2020, the Milpitas Rotary club invested $500 through KIVA to support various folks make a difference in their lives through loans. To date (Aug 2021), that $500 was used to make 23 loans, supporting folks in 17 countries, Of the 23 loans, 8 have been fully paid back, allowing us to use those funds to make new loans to help others. The bulk of the loans were made out to women across 8 sectors (agriculture, clothing, health, retail, arts, food, housing, and services). We have 12 active loans, 3 loans awaiting other Kiva supporters to fund, and expect to continue to "recycle" funds to help others.
  • Support for StoveTeam International
    • In June 2021, Milpitas Rotary donated $1,000 to support the tremendous work at StoveTeam International. This donation help to provide stoves in South America (El Salvador, Nicaragua, etc.). Check out the latest at: https://www.stoveteam.org/
