What is a Rotaract club?
Rotaract is a service club for young people ages 18-30 who partner with Rotarians to develop leadership skills and make friends from around the world. Sponsoring Rotary clubs are service partners, offer guidance, support and mentorship. Rotaract clubs can be based at a school or in a community. A school-based club draws its members from one school, university, or college, while a community-based club draws members from all over a community.
Club meetings can take place in person, online or a combination of both. Rotaract can be a flexible option for rural communities, traveling young professionals, and university students who are studying abroad or seeking a degree online.
After Interact: Rotaract offers Interact alumni the perfect way to build on the good you did in your community through your high school Rotary club. We want to help young people who are already connected to Rotary – family members of Rotarians, Interact, RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) alumni and former Youth Exchange students to discover new opportunities through Rotaract.
