Community Service Projects
Established since 1930, the Rotary Club of Penang has adopted the policy of initiating projects to benefit the community; nursing the projects to self sufficiency and then handing over the administration of the projects to the public sector whilst maintaining a presence at committee level.
This policy has proved effective and beneficial to the public as it has enabled the Rotary Club of Penang to initiate worthy projects to meet the community’s needs as and when they arise without being tied down to any one project. Some noteworthy projects initiated by the Rotary Club of Penang include the following:
The Rotary Youth Centre at Acheen Street
The main objective of the center is to provide educational and recreational facilities for youths in and around the locality to keep them off the streets and help them become useful citizens. The center has basketball facilities for games. For students in overcrowded homes, there is a library on the first floor which could be used as a place for study, for homework and to prepare for examinations. Occasionally, classes in English, taught by Rotary’s exchange students from English-speaking countries are offered.
The Rotary Job-Link Centre at Grove Road
This center seeks to develop the potential of physically challenged people to the fullest so that they can be gainfully employed. The Centre trains them for suitable jobs in-house before placing them in suitable jobs in factories, business establishments and in their homes.
