The term "Four Avenues of Service" is frequently used in Rotary literature and information. The "Avenues" refer to the four elements of the Object of Rotary: Club Service, Vocational Service, Community Service and International Service.
  
'Club Service' involves all of the activities necessary for Rotarians to perform to make their club function successfully.

'Vocational Service' is a description of the opportunity each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and utility of one's vocation to the other members of the club.
  
'Community Service' pertains to those activities which Rotarians undertake to improve the quality of life in their community. It frequently involves assistance to youth, the aged, handicapped and others who look to Rotary as a source of hope for a better life.
  
'International Service' describes the many programs and activities which Rotarians undertake to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace. International Service projects are designed to meet humanitarian needs of people in many lands.
