the History of Rotaract Rotaract was founded forty years ago, with the Rotaract Club of North Charlotte,Carolina being the first club to be chartered - on March 13, 1968.However, as early as 1935, Paul Harris encountered a youth organization based onRotary principles in Australia. In the 1950's many youth clubs were sponsored byRotary clubs under various names.These included the “Paul Harris Circles” in Europeand the “Rotors” clubs created in some American Universities.In 1965, these organizations experienced significant growth - in part due to the Interactprogram created by Rotary International in 1962. Many Interactors, having reached theage limit of that program, were starting new types of clubs called “Senior Interact”.The new program’s name, Rotaract, was created by Rotary International as acombination of the words “Rotary” and“Action”. The aim of the program was stated to  be “to develop leadership and responsible citizenship through service to thecommunity.”Following the founding of the Rotaract Club of North Charlotte, many existing Rotary based youth clubs changed their names to become an official Rotaract club.In the 1990's, Rotaractors combined their organizations on an international level withthe creation of Multi-District Organizations in Europe, Australia and South America. There are over 7,000 clubs in about 163 countries and geographical areas.Internationally, Rotaract is strong in Asia,Africa and South America as well as Europe,where Rotary membership may be exclusive or expensive.

What Is Rotaract Rotaract is a Rotary sponsored service club for young men and women between the agesof 18 and 30. Rotaract is a way for young adults, who may not be ready or eligible for Rotary membership, to become involved in the Rotary family and contribute to their communities and world, in keeping with Rotary ideals.
