About Rotaract
Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re 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 programs, with more than 7,000 clubs in about 163 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
History
The first Rotaract club was chartered on 13 March 1968, in North Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S.A. As at March 2005 there are 7,869 Rotaract clubs in 146 countries with an estimated 180,000 members.
The Rotaract Club of Canberra was chartered in 1971. It has grown and developed over the years since to a strong and well respected club.
All Rotaract efforts begin at the grassroots level, addressing the communities’ physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
The activities of Rotaract focus on community service; professional development, leadership and friendship.
