What is
Rotaract?

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs can be either community- or university-based, and are sponsored by local Rotary clubs. In addition to undertaking projects to assist their local communities and to advance international understanding, Rotaractors, as club members are commonly called, also engage in activities related to professional development and leadership training. The first Rotaract club was chartered on 13 March, 1968, in North Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S.A. Today there are more than 6,000 Rotaract clubs in 139 countries with nearly 140,000 members. Each year, Rotaractors from around the globe have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas during a forum scheduled immediately prior to the annual Rotary Convention. An agenda for the meeting, which was held in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA 12-13 June 1998 is available.
