Is Rotaract Right For You?
Are you a young professional who wants to make your community a better place?
Would you welcome the chance to expand your circle of friends at home and around the world?
Are you looking for ways to hone your leadership skills and explore career opportunities?
What Rotaract Clubs Do
Rotaract does a world of good. Clubs carry out at least one community service project and one international service project each year. Among myriad activities of their own choice, clubs:
- Mentor and tutor children and collect donated books
- Organize camps and outings for people with disabilities
- Raise funds for medical equipment and disaster relief
- Create awareness of AIDS, drug abuse, and other issues
Rotaract clubs hold meetings, usually every two weeks, which feature speakers, discussions, and visits to other clubs. Rotaractors also get together for service projects, social activities, and leadership workshops. Beyond the club level, Rotaractors can take advantage of district conferences, projects, and training seminars and participate in an international meeting prior to the annual Rotary International Convention.
