Vocational Service

Strengthening vocational relationships & ethics

Vocational service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to practice high ethical standards.

  • Scholarships — The club is a major contributor of scholarships to graduating seniors from Murrieta high schools who are preparing for lifelong vocations through colleges and vocational schools.
  • Music Competition — The club stages a competition each year for high school-age musicians as a way of encouraging young people to pursue musical careers.  The contest offers cash prizes and entry into a district-wide competition.
  • Vocational Service Awards — This program annually recognizes high standards from public safety and educational employees.
  • 4-Way Speech Contest — This program has a dual purpose:  encourage development of public speaking skills through a contest for high schoolers centered on Rotary’s 4-Way Test of ethical values.  Prize money is awarded along with entry into district-level competition.
  • Veterans Luncheon — The club annually recognizes those who have served in this country’s Armed Forces with a special luncheon at the Field of Honor.
