About Rotaract

Rotaract is a Rotary International program for young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 who are committed to making a difference in their communities and around the world. Established in 1968, Rotaract provides opportunities for young professionals and university students to enhance their professional skills, address the needs of their community, and promote international understanding.

The name "Rotaract" is a portmanteau of "Rotary" and "action," reflecting the program's emphasis on young people taking active steps to create positive change. Each Rotaract club is sponsored by a local Rotary club, fostering a mentoring relationship between the two organizations.
