Community Service Awards

Community Service Award

The Rotary Club of Lancaster Community Service Awards began in 1973. The Community Awards are handled by the Community Awards Subcommittee. The subcommittee solicits nominations in order to identify the recipients, assesses the information, and selects the award recipients.

Selection is based upon four main considerations:

Contributions to strengthening thecommunity through, preferably, volunteer service;
Special leadership qualities;
Ability to achieve outcomes; and
Any extraordinary effort made by thenominee, and any challenges or obstacles that were overcome in making these contributions.

The emphasis for award selection is on impactful and meaningful service that fosters community well being in Lancaster County. While volunteer efforts are preferred, recognition can be given to a paid employee for outstanding achievement that benefits the community.

The awardee is recognized at a Rotary Club of Lancaster luncheon and has the opportunity to designate a Rotary check of $500 to a favorite charity.

Up to four youth recipients may be selected. The awardees are recognized at a Rotary Club of Lancaster luncheon meeting where they receive a cash gift of $100 and have the opportunity to designate a Rotary check of $100 to a favorite charity.
