Lewisville Morning Rotary to Launch a Rotary Community Corps
Rotary Community Corps (RCCs) are teams of men and women
who work in partnership with Rotary clubs to improve their communities
 
Membership in an RCC is open to any adult in the community who shares Rotary’s commitment to service but is not a Rotary member.  The RCC model is flexible and can mobilize volunteers from all walks of life. Informal meetings typically take place once per month and attendance is not mandatory.  This flexibility encourages diversity in membership and allows members to focus solely on service projects. RCCs also provide their members with opportunities to collaborate with Rotarians. Anyone interested in becoming an RCC member can submit an application form here.
