# WHAT IS ROTARACT? Rotaract is a club for adults ages 18-30 that meets twice a month to exchange ideas, plan activities and projects, and socialize. While Rotary clubs serve as sponsors, Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their club and what projects and activities to carry out.
# HOW DO I JOIN A ROTARACT CLUB? You can check with your university, look online, or contact a local Rotary club to find out if there’s a club in your area. Contact the Rotaract club to find out about its next meeting, service project, or social event. If you’re interested in learning more about Rotaract, watch "Journey to Pisco" to see how Rotaract clubs worldwide are using their energy, experience, and education to address issues that are important to them.
# WHAT IF THERE ISN’T A ROTARACT CLUB IN MY COMMUNITY OR UNIVERSITY? Refer to the Rotaract Handbook for everything you need to organize and manage your new club. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
A sponsor Rotary club to provide support and partnership
An adviser from your sponsor club
A faculty adviser (if it’s a university-based club) to serve as a liaison between your sponsor Rotary club and the university administration
Members! Strong club leaders to help organize your club, grow your membership, and carry out successful projects.
# WHERE CAN I FIND MEMBERS FOR OUR CLUB? Whether you’re starting a new club or part of an existing one, you can find potential members by publicizing your club activities in your community and university. Here are some other ideas:
Post updates to your club website or blog, page, and Twitter account
Organize special events in your community
Invite potential members to your service projects, social events, and networking nights
