Rotaract brings together people ages 18-30 in universities and communities worldwide to organize service activities, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun. Rotary clubs sponsor them, but Rotaract members manage and fund their clubs independently. Rotaract members work closely with their local Rotary club, and may join after their Rotaract membership ends.
Rotaract is a unique international service organisation for people aged 18-30, offering a wide range of activities that will enable you to try something new, whilst having a great time and meeting others. The purpose of Rotaract is to provide an opportunity for young men and women to enhance the knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities, and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service. The goals of Rotaract are:
1.To develop professional and leadership skills;
2.To emphasize respect for the rights of others, and to promote ethical standards and the dignity of all useful occupations;
3.To provide opportunities for young people to address the needs and concerns of the community and our world;
4.To provide opportunities for working in cooperation with sponsoring Rotary clubs; and
5.To motivate young people for eventual membership in Rotary.
