World of Work
We accompany Grade 5 students from Swarthmore Rutledge Elementary School to meet business owners in Swarthmore.
Vocational and Community Service Awards
We present the Vocational Service Award and Community Service Award annually at the Swarthmore Independence Day celebrations.
The Vocational Service Award recognizes a member of the community that exemplifies the ideals of the Rotary 4-way test. The Award recognizes service to society through ethical dealings in business with customers, clients, colleagues, employees, competitors, and suppliers.
The Community Service Awards is presented to a member of the community to recognize their commitment and dedication to “Service above Self” in volunteer service outside of their business or profession toward the goal of improving lives in the local community.

We host the annual Swarthmore Fun Fair and raise funds to support organizations in our area
Adopt-A-Highway
