Vocational Service

The Vocational Service Committee conducts projects within the community to foster high ethical standards in all occupations, fair treatment of employees and employers, and recognition of the worthiness of all occupations.  It also endeavors to share the vocational skills and experiences of Club members with others in the community and to assist in the mentoring and development of the next generation of leaders.  Prominent projects of this committee include organizing Mock Interview Sessions for Jefferson County High School Students, distributing Dictionaries to all third graders and Thesauruses to all fourth graders in Jefferson County Schools, participating the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life” at Shepherd University, organizing “Rotary Reads” with the Shepherdstown Public Library to encourage children to spend more time reading,  and selecting a prominent non-Rotary member of the community to receive the Rotary Vocational Service Award in recognition of achieving outstanding professional accomplishment accompanied by high ethical standards.
