DANIEL ISLAND SCHOOL CAREER DAY - MARCH 10
Last Friday, members of the Rotary Club of Daniel Island spent the morning at Daniel Island School’s Career Day, talking with curious 3rd–5th graders about the many possibilities waiting for them in the future.
Students rotated through sessions with Rotarians and community members with interesting careers, including an engineer, retired Army servicemember, physician, author, safety officer, and educator/professional athlete.
You could see the wheels turning as students asked things like “What made you choose that job?” and “How long did you have to go to school for?”
Moments like these remind us why Rotary exists. When we invest our time, share our experiences, and encourage young people to dream big, we live out our Rotary motto: Service Above Self.
Thank you to our incredible volunteer speakers, our Community Service Director Amanda Wagner and to Daniel Island School for welcoming Rotarians into the school to inspire the next generation.
About Us
The Rotary Club of Daniel Island (RCDI) is a 100-member service organization dedicated to giving back through fundraising, volunteerism, fellowship, and learning. Members come from diverse backgrounds—young professionals, new residents, and seasoned leaders—united by a passion for service.
Rotary focuses on seven key causes: peace, disease prevention, clean water, maternal and child health, education, local economies, and the environment. Committees aligned with these areas give members opportunities to serve in ways that match their interests.
RCDI also invests in youth through exchanges, scholarships, and leadership programs, helping students gain skills and global experiences.
The club’s signature fundraiser is the Charleston Duck Race, where 30,000+ rubber ducks compete for $22,000 in prizes. Since its start, the event has raised $2 million for charities serving Lowcountry families.
