About Us

History

---

Rotaract, Rotary International’s service club program for young adults aging 18-30 years was officially inaugurated during January 1968 under RI President Luther Hodges. On 13th March 1968, the Rotaract Club of the University of North Carolina sponsored by the Rotary Club of North Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, was the first Rotaract club to receive its official charter. Although this club is recognized as the first Rotaract Club, Rotarians have been sponsoring similar organizations for young adults since early 1920’s.

Rotaract Clubs or usually community based or university-based and are sponsored by a local Rotary club making them true “partners in service” and key members of the Rotary family.

Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.

All Rotaract efforts begin at the local grassroots level and all Rotaract clubs have access to the many resources of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.

As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 7,500 Rotaract clubs in some 155 countries, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Rotaractors also often spearhead the formation of Interact clubs and participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. Rotaractors also can go on to become Ambassadorial Scholars of Group Study Exchange team members.
