What is Rotaract?

Rotaractors worldwide were asked to select three words that best describe Rotaract, and here's their answers:  Humanity.  Community.  Leadership.  Compassion.  Community Development.  Friendship.  Service.  Fun.
If you are interested in helping the community, we create local projects and help with other non-governmental organizations. If you are interested in making new friends, our friendly members hold social events. If you are interested in professional development, we offer networking opportunities where we meet Rotarians that serve as our mentors, plus we attend conferences and international conventions. If you are interested in opportunities to travel abroad, our international projects will take you all over the world to volunteer with other similar-minded Rotaractors from the world-wide Rotaract network. Rotaract will provide you with the chance to change the world!

Rotaract clubs are part of a global network of the largest service organization in the world, Rotary International. Our service efforts start at the community level but knows no limits in its outreach. Rotaractors have access to the many resources of Rotary International (RI) and The Rotary Foundation.  The purpose of Rotaract is to provide an opportunity for young men and women to enhance the skills that will assist in personal development, to address the needs of their local  communities, and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through international service.

What Are The Goals of Rotaract?

Rotaract has the following goals:

·       To develop professional and leadership skills, plus networking

·       To provide opportunities for personal and group activities
·       Serve the community and promote international understanding and goodwill toward all
        people

·       To recognize, practice, and promote ethical standards as leadership qualities and
         vocational responsibilities

·       To develop knowledge and understanding of the needs, problems, and opportunities in
         the community and worldwide

How does Rotaract fit into the Rotary family?

Rotary International is a worldwide service organization for leading business and professional men and women with more than 1.2 million members in over 35,247 Rotary clubs. Each Rotaract club is sponsored by a local Rotary club. This sponsorship is a result of Rotary’s belief that young people, or New Generations, should take an active interest in community life and have the opportunity for professional development. 

Rotaract clubs are either community based, university based, or a hybrid between community and university based clubs. Each club is sponsored by a local Rotary club which makes Rotaractors true "Partners in Service" and key members of the Family of Rotary.   Rotaractors organize service activities, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun.   Rotary clubs sponsor them, but Rotaract members manage and fund their clubs independently.  Rotaract members work closely with their local Rotary club, and may join after their Rotaract membership ends. 

How does it work?

Rotaract activities take place at the club level, and THEY select which projects THEY want to do. Rotaract clubs hold formal meetings every two weeks, which feature speakers, fun, special outings, social activities, discussions or visits to other clubs. Club members get together on designated days for service project work, social events, or professional/leadership development workshops.
