The Rotary Club of Greenfield actively works to fulfill Rotary International's  Motto of "Service Above Self".  The programs, fundraisers and service projects which we engage in throughout the year address Rotary's Five Avenues of Service, which are:

• Club Service works to strengthen fellowship among members and creating an organizational infrastructure, policies and procedures to ensure the club's success in meeting its mission.
• Vocational Service encourages members to serve others through their vocations, education, skills and by adhering to ethical standards of practice.
• Community Service represents the club's activities which build a strong and giving community, which builds a better life for our family,  friends, neighbors and local businesses and organizations.
• International Service  works to support worldwide humanitarian efforts as well as promoting peace and understanding.
• New Generations Service focuses on engaging youth and developing skilled future leaders, who possess strong ethical standards and a passion for serving others.

In pursuit of these ideals and commitments, our club is involved in the following:

1. Our Club Scholarship Fund provides financial grants to deserving Hancock County high school seniors from each high school, planning to attend  college.
