Projects & Volunteering
Are you looking for a way to address a need in your local community, or to help with a cause close to your heart elsewhere in the world? Chances are that there’s a project underway that could benefit from your assistance. If you know of a need that isn’t being met, the wider Rotary network may be the ideal vehicle to be able to take meaningful action. Rotary Action Groups provide technical expertise and support to find partners, funding, and other resources.
Each Rotary and Rotaract club here in the South Pacific Region has its own suite of projects that it manages, locally and internationally, which relate to the needs in the local community and the interests and skills of club members and their networks. Many clubs work together to undertake larger projects and programs, with a number of causes (such as working to End Polio Now) seeing massive change happen thanks to millions of people uniting to do good in the world.
Volunteer on a Project
There are many ways you can volunteer. Join us to help with planning and implementing, connecting resources, providing funds, or hands-on work.
We couldn’t list all the projects that local Rotarians and Rotaractors in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands are currently involved with. We offer a broad range of humanitarian, environmental, intercultural and educational projects. You can find a wide selection at the Service Project Centre. The list below contains some of the more significant projects currently happening in the South Pacific Region:
Rotary Says No to Domestic Violence
Violence against women starts with disrespectful behaviour. This regional campaign aims to stop this behaviour at the start. Rotarians and Rotaractors raise awareness of Domestic and Family Violence, with the Purple Friday campaign and annual Walk for Respect. We also educate young people on respectful relationships through the Love Bites program.
