One of Rotary International’s fastest-growing service programs, Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women between the ages of 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs, which are either community or university based, are part of a global effort to bring peace and international understanding to the world. Following Rotary International’s motto of Service Above Self, Rotaract Clubs undertake three main types of activities: professional development, leadership development, and service. Rotaract aims to gear the upcoming generation of professionals, business leaders, and community leaders with the tools and skills necessary to develop into responsible, productive members of society, instilling in its members life skills that can be shared with others for generations to come.
