Rotaract
 Rotaract is a
Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs can be either
community- or university-based, and are sponsored by local Rotary clubs. In addition to undertaking
projects to assist their local communities and to advance international understanding, Rotaractors,
as club members are commonly called, also engage in activities related to professional development
and leadership training.
The first Rotaract club was chartered on 13 March, 1968, in North Charlotte, North
Carolina, U.S.A. Today there are nearly 6,554 Rotaract clubs in 146 countries with an estimated
150,000 members. Each year, Rotaractors from around the globe have the opportunity to meet and
exchange ideas during a forum scheduled immediately prior to the annual Rotary Convention.
