Community Service activities in certain areas. Areas

promoting literacy, preventing drug abuse adn AIDS,
meeting the needs of children, helping the elderly,
and protecting the environment (a program known as
Preserve Planet Earth - PPE).
Rotary International programs such as World Community
Service (WCS), Rotary Community Corps (RCC) and Rotary
Volunteers (RV) link communities needing help with
Rotary clubs and individuals willing to provide assistance.
Popular RI programs for youth and young adults include
Interact and Rotaract service clubs, Rotary Youth
Exchange (RYE), and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards.
Friendship Exchange and Rotary Recreational and Vocational
