By serving on a committee all Sunrise Rotarians are involved in one or more of the Four Avenues of Service.
VOCATIONAL SERVICE – The promoting of professional and ethical conduct in business, and assisting youth in making career choices. By participating in Career Coach Day, Rotarians are paired with a middle school student, and introduce the student to professionals in a career that interests the student. Some Rotary meetings are held at a business within the community so that Rotarians may learn about different vocations.
CLUB SERVICE – The tasks that are necessary for the functioning of a strong Rotary Club. These tasks include holding office, editing the club bulletin, serving on club committees, attending club meetings, and helping to schedule the weekly programs.
COMMUNITY SERVICE – Rotary Clubs identify needs within their community and then act upon these needs. Reno Sunrise has partnered with Virginia Palmer Elementary School in Sun Valley. The Club provides shoes and jackets for students in need. Club members have donated time and materials to provide for better drainage in a school playground. Club members work with second grade students to help them improve their reading skills. Many club members are also involved in community service on their own. For example one member volunteers for a program that provides health services to children living in low income areas.
INTERNATIONAL SERVICE – Rotary Clubs support projects that promote international goodwill and humanitarian need. Reno Sunrise has shipped medical supplies to Argentina, and tee shirts and shoes to Botswana. Through the Rotary Youth Exchange program, the Club gives local high school students the opportunity to spend a year in another country, and the Club hosts a foreign student for a year. Through the Ambassadorial Scholar program the club has hosted scholars from Poland, Russia, the Philippines, Wales and Ghana.
