Yarmouth Rotary is a service group of local professionals who volunteer their efforts and goodwill to help others, in Yarmouth and abroad. Thank-Goodness-It's-Friday-In-Yarmouth
Rotarians strive to help their community locally, and others worldwide.
Rotarians provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Locally our primary mission is to provide youth aide primarily in the form of scholarships to high school seniors at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School and scholarships and tool ships to Cape Cod Technical High School. We also distribute world atlases to 5th graders in Yarmouth elementary schools, weekly deliver meals-on-wheels to local senior citizens, monthly feed the homeless at Champ House, annually host a Holiday party for disadvantaged children and families. We honor Cape Tech and D-Y High School students each month during the school year with "Rising Star" awards recognizing their accomplishments and achievements. Throughout the year we provide various services to the elderly and support and participate in numerous local "Good Works" projects in the Yarmouth community.
Rotary International is the world's first service club organization, with more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide. Rotary club members are volunteers who work locally, regionally, and internationally to combat hunger, improve health and sanitation, provide education and job training, promote peace, and eradicate polio under the motto Service Above Self. Yarmouth Rotary is one of the many clubs on Cape Cod, and is both the largest and one of the most diverse around.
