Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women the ages of 18 and 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and are sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true “partners in service” and key members of the family of Rotary.
As one of Rotary’s most significant and fastest growing service programmes, with more than 7,000 clubs in about 163 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
