Indy Do Day: The Largest Day of Service in Indianapolis to be Led by the Rotary Club of Indianapolis
By Indy Rotary on January 21, 2014
The Rotary Club of Indianapolis is excited to announce the official adoption of its new Signature project – Indy Do Day. This is a Service Above Self initiative that will be managed by the Rotary Club of Indianapolis. The growth of this initiative will allow Rotary to continue Growing Indianapolis Communities for the next 100 years and beyond.
WHAT IS IT?
- It’s one day when the people of this city get to know their neighbors, take ownership of their neighborhoods and take care of one another.
- It’s decentralized, ground-up, people-powered community improvement.
- It’s about pride, shared ownership, and stronger relationships.
- It’s about building the most civic-engaged community in the nation where every day is a Do Day.
WHY DO IT?
- It’s good for everybody: Strong communities are built from the inside out…by people who are personally invested and can see their investments matched and multiplied by others.
- It’s good for neighborhoods: Committed residents and organizations build and renew partnerships to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
- It’s good for learners: When stewardship is regularly taught and modeled, it can become woven into how people interact, and care for, their communities.
- It’s good for the mission: Diverse community, cultural, and faith-based organizations can transform their commitments into tangible action, and unite the members along the way.
- It’s good for business: There is a growing consensus that giving employees a day, or even a few hours, to work in the community is good team building, good brand building, and good business.
