About Rotaract
Rotaract is a service organization for young men and women between the ages 18–30 that focuses on the development of young adults as leaders in their communities and workplaces. There are more than 9,000 Rotaract clubs around the world, which are sharing in Rotary's global effort to bring peace and international understanding to the world."Rotaract" stands for "Rotary in Action", although the name originally comes from a combination of "Rotary" and "Interact" (International + Action), the high school level program created by Rotary International in 1962.
Like Rotary clubs, Rotaract clubs hold formal meetings, which feature speakers and social activities. Club members also take part in service project work, social events and leadership development activities.
Young men and women participating in Rotaract are able to develop knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development while addressing the needs of their communities, and promoting peace and understanding between people around the world.
To be eligible for membership, prospective members must be 18–30 years of age, show that they are committed to Rotaract and be of good standing in the community. To learn more about Rotaract, visit Rotary International's Rotaract website.
