Rotaract is a service club for young people ages 18 and up who are dedicated to finding innovativesolutions to the world’s most pressing challenges while developing leadership skills and making friends from around the world. Rotaract clubs are members of Rotary International.
Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their own clubs, manage their funds, and plan and carry out activities and service projects that are important to their communities. Clubs that sponsor Rotaract clubs offer guidance and support, and work as partners in service.
IN SERVICE
Rotaract clubs should complete at least two service projects each year, one that meets your local community’s needs and one that helps a global community. These projects are a great way for Rotaract clubs to get involved in their own community, connect with young adults globally, and attract new members.
WORLD ROTARACT WEEK
During World Rotaract Week, Rotaractors and Rotarians around the world commemorate the chartering of the first Rotaract club. The celebration, which takes place during the week that includes 13 March (from Monday through Sunday), is an ideal time for Rotaract clubs and their sponsors
to carry out joint activities and promote Rotaract clubs’ contributions to their communities. Rotaractors can decide the best way for their club to celebrate — completing one, two, or an entire week’s worth of activities.
After clubs have completed their World Rotaract Week events, sponsor clubs or district Rotaract chairs can present them with a certificate of recognition, available on Rotary’s Awards page.
