ROTARACT - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
What is it?
Rotaract is a worldwide youth network for 18-30's. Rotary International founded Rotaract in 1968 to encourage young people to take part in their community.
What do they do?
Rotaractors get involved in the community any way they can. This includes social events, charity events and fundraising, personal and professional development. The types of tasks carried out can be volunteer work, organising events or participating in events. There is the opportunity to further develop professional skills through serving on the board of the club and district.

What is the connection with Rotary?
A Rotary club sponsors each Rotaract club. Rotary members are generally not directly involved in running the club, but offer very valuable support and mentorship. We will occasionally have joint meetings and events with Rotary clubs.
What do I have to do to join?
After you have attended three meetings, one social event and one community event, the club can invite you to become a member.
