District Programs Committees

 
These committees promote and administer ongoing Rotary programs and/or specific district activities, projects, providing support and guidance to clubs. Districts often have a specific committee for each of the programs and activities offered. Some of the specific District 7030 Program Committees include:
  • Special Projects - Dyslexia
  • Special Projects - Autism
  • Caribbean Partnership
Other Rotary International recommended District Program Committees include:
 
 
A Rotarian Action Group is an autonomous group of Rotarians, family members, program participants and alumni who are experts in a particular field, such as micro-0credit or water and sanitation. Group members share their expertise by collaborating with clubs and districts on service projects.
 
 
 
Rotary Community Corps (RCC) are groups of non-Rotarians who support local service projects, help identify local needs, and take ownership of a project to increase its sustainability. As a member of the committee, you encourage clubs to sponsor new RCCs where needed. Learn more in the Rotary Community Corps Handbook.
 
 
 
Rotary Fellowships give members the opportunity to have fun, make new friends around the world, and enhance their Rotary experience. Objectives of this committee are to:
  • Connect members to existing Rotary Fellowships.
  • Invite fellowship members to speak to clubs in your district.
  • Encourage members to develop new fellowships around a shared interest.
  • Publicize fellowship events.

  • Publicize stories about exchanges.
