About Rotaract
Rotaract originally began as a Rotary International
youth program in 1968 and has grown into a major Rotary-sponsored
organization of over 9,030 clubs spread around the world and 207,690
members. It is a service, leadership and community service organization for young men and women between the ages 18–30.
Rotaract focuses on the development of young adults as leaders in their
communities and workplaces. Clubs around the world also take part in
international service projects, in a global effort to bring peace and
international understanding to the world.
"Rotaract" stands for "Rotary in Action",
although the name originally comes from a combination of "Rotary" and
"Interact" (International + Action), the high school level program
created by Rotary International in 1962.

hold formal meetings, usually every two weeks, which feature speakers,
special outings, social activities, discussions or visits to other

work, social events, or professional/leadership development workshops.
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

years of age, show that they are committed to Rotaract, and show that
they are of good standing in the community. After being approved by the
club, prospective members are 'inducted' to become members, also known
as 'Rotaractors'. Clubs generally charge a small annual membership fee
to cover costs.
