Article #7: Service Projects That Stick

At RLI, we often ask: what makes a service project truly great? The answer isn’t money or size—it’s meaning, planning, and follow-through.

Great service projects:
✅ Meet a real community need
✅ Involve club members in meaningful ways
✅ Have clear goals and lasting impact

Want to make your next project “stick”?
🔹 Involve the people you’re serving—ask them what they actually need.
🔹 Collaborate with partners and other clubs.
🔹 Celebrate and reflect—share the story beyond your club.

Projects don’t have to be huge to matter. When done well, they energize your members, raise your profile, and show Rotary at its best.
