Park City Rotary International Outreach
Park City Rotary has a long history of international outreach, with boots on the ground engagement in Mexico and Guatemala, as well as support in Rwanda and other countries. The club’s approach is to combine its strong efforts with Rotary’s high school Interact program with its international outreach. Each of the club’s international projects is primarily centered on engaging Interact students with Rotarians on international service projects.

Beginning in 2017, the Park City Rotary Club brought its international service closer to home through a project to support the native Hopi people on their northern Arizona reservation. The two projects were eye-opening for participating Interact students from Park City, as well as exchange students from around Utah.
Hopi Project
In November, 2018, Park City Rotary and Interact brought 45 students and Rotarians to the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. The four-day project opened the eyes of students to the Hopi people, who have inhabited their villages for over 800 years. The project took them into villages and homes to meet Hopi people. Workshops taught them about their life. And service took them into elementary schools to help young Hopi children and to do landscaping and construction on a Hopi sustainability project.
