Club Service, the first of Rotary's four avenues of service, involves the actions that a Rotarian must take within the club to help it function successfully.

This is a the general management that keeps the club functioning smoothly and all Rotarians are expected to contribute. 

Functions that are covered include attendance, speaker programme, club bulletin (The Sandtarian - published weekly), membership and membership development, mentorship, public relations, fellowship programme. 

Rotarians have been deeply involved in serving their communities since the establishment of the first club.  The history of every Rotary Club contains a record of projects reflecting the third party of Rotary's Object: "The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarians personal, business and community life."

Policy Towards Community Service Activities

Rotary Community Service encourages and fosters the application of the ideal of service to the personal, business and community of every Rotarian.

In carrying out this application of the ideal of service, a variety of activities developed by Rotary clubs have afforded significant opportunities for service by their members.  For the guidance of Rotarians and to formulate a policy for Rotary toward Community Service activities, the following principles are recognised:

Community Service is an opportunity for every Rotarian to exemplify "service above self." It is the commitment and social responsibility of every Rotarian and Rotary Club to improve the quality of life for those who live in the community and to serve the public interest.

Environment Committee is a rather unique sub-committee formed by Sandton to deal with issues specifically related to environmental projects.

Vocational Service is the way Rotary fosters and supports the application of the ideal of service in pursuit of all vocations.

Inherent in the Vocational Service ideal are:

1. Adherence to, and promotion of the highest ethical standards in all occupations, including faithfulness and fidelity to employers, employees, and associates, fair treatment of them and of competitors, the public, and all those with whom one has any business or professional relationships;
2. The recognition of the worthiness to society of all useful occupations, not just ones own or those which are pursued by Rotarians:
3. The contribution of ones vocational talents to the problems and needs of society. 

The aim of international service in Rotary is expressed in the fourth avenue of service; namely, to encourage and foster the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.  In concept, International Service can be broken down into four general areas as follows:

1. World Community Service Activities;
2. International Educational & Cultural Exchange Activities;
3. Special International Observances & Events;
4. International Meetings.

Youth Exchangees are commended as a worthwhile activity in the advancement of international understanding and goodwill throughout the world.

It is recognised that many successful exchanges are made far less than a full academic year. As a result, there are long term and short term exchanges made between reciprocating countries. Students are between the ages of 15 and 19 and the travel and accommodation arrangements are carefully supervised.

The purpose of Rotaract is to provide an opportunity for young men and women to enhance their knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities and to provide better relations between all people world-wide through a framework of friendship and service. Rotoractors are between the ages of 19 and 30. They must leave Rotor act after 30. 

Interact is junior Rotary at schools. Pupils from Gr 8 to Gr 11 participate. The Interact clubs are run on  a similar basis to Rotary Clubs who sponsor them. They elect their own President and Officers and raise funds and find worthy projects to spend their time and money on.
