A Rotary Passport Community Corps (RPCC) is a group of non-Rotarians who share our commitment to changing the world through service projects.
RPCC members plan and carry out projects in their communities and support local Rotary club projects.
There are more than 10,000 corps in 100 countries. Community Corps are active everywhere Rotary is present: in urban and rural areas, and in both developed and developing countries.
Membership in an RPCC is open to any adult in the community who shares Rotary’s commitment to service but is not a Rotary member. The RPCC model is flexible and can mobilise volunteers from all walks of life. Meetings typically take place once or twice per month (depending on project needs) and dues tend to be minimal. This flexibility encourages diversity in membership and allows members to focus solely on service projects. RPCCs also provide their members with opportunities to collaborate with Rotarians and develop valuable leadership skills.
