Last month, Rotary Zones 33 and 34 introduced a very special vocational service project, “Rotary Works” - an initiative provided for Rotarians and Rotaractors experiencing career transition. This initiative is comprised of three distinct programs, providing education, networking, and/or financial resources for participants, providing mentorship opportunities for personal and professional development. To learn more, watch the first program, and sign up for future month Zoom sessions, you can visit www.rotary.works (no .org or .com)
Monthly topics will vary from direct, self-help conversations to hands-on skill development processes. Each month our professionals will be available to discuss specific topics with you. The topics will be outlined each month in our Rotary Works Newsletter.
In the Spring of 2021, we will launch our second phase, the “Zone Job Board" - a resource to search for or post employment opportunities.
And finally, the third phase is our Impact Fund, designed to offer a one-time grant of $500 for individuals in our Zones who have experienced financial stress due to career transition. Criteria are being established so eligible Rotarians and Rotaractors can to apply for these grants. We will direct our members to the Zone Website for more information on that process and want to stress that these personal grants are a “hand-up” opportunity, not a “hand-out."
