rotaract is an international program

It was founded in 1968 by Rotary International,
an association of clubs made up of service-minded
business and professional leaders.
Today, there are more than 7,300 Rotary clubsponsored
Rotaract clubs with some 170,000 members
– known as Rotaractors – in over 150 countries.
Clubs are either based in the community or in
a university. Rotaract clubs enable Rotaractors to
grow personally and professionally, address community
needs, and promote international understanding
through friendship and service.
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.
rotaract builds leaders, and leaders

that end, clubs organize
" Communication and public speaking
seminars
" Training programs for club officers

promote projects

members make informed choices, Rotaract clubs

fun, make friends, and make the worlda little better
