Our club follows the Rotary "Service Above Self" mission in our local community and internationally.
Locally we support Food Backpacks4Kids, Communities in Schools Peninsula, Children's Home Society, and the Red Barn.

Nearly half our club members are volunteering at the school.
Our most recent international project took six local high school students to the mountains of Guatemala on a service trip for Opal House. We are proposing a similar trip for the 2019-2020 school year.
