"Service above self"
Five Avenues of Service
Club Service
This “Avenue” promotes the development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. It involves the activities necessary to make the Club function successfully and achieve its goals.
Vocational Service
This area represents the opportunity that each Rotarian has to represent the dignity and utility of one’s vocation as an opportunity to serve society. Rotarians promote and foster high ethical standards in business and professions and promote the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations.

Project Amigo
Education and literacy are powerful keys to enabling a brighter future for the world’s children, who in turn benefit the nations they live in. For nearly three decades, Project Amigo, a U.S. 501 (c) (3) non-profit charity since 1996, has helped rural children in Mexico continue their formal schooling up to and including college level. The Rotary Club of Westminster has participated with Project Amigo for nearly a decade, sponsoring a student by providing the needs to be successful in school--bus money, books, school supplies, uniforms, a hot lunch, and weekly support through Project Amigo’s Homework Club. Read letters from José Ramón, our sponsored student.
Scholarship Program
Launched in 1999, the Rotary Community Scholarship undertaking is one of the most comprehensive local programs in Colorado. Over $1,000,000 in scholarships has been distributed to more than 500 successful applicants. Each Spring, active Westminster Rotary committees interview and select students who will be awarded grants ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
