What Does Rotaract Do?
Rotaractors participate in a variety of community and international service projects, as well as leadership and professional development.  Typical community service projects might include tutoring area students, working with Habitat for Humanity, serving meals to the homeless, recycling, participating in community or campus-wide projects, and working with local community organizations.  Rotaract Clubs also work with their sponsoring Rotary Club(s) on their various community projects.

Rotaract also performs international service.   This might include working on joint project with Rotaract Clubs in other parts of the world, fundraising for an international organization such as UNICEF, or even visiting another country to address a need.

By working with area Rotary Clubs, Rotaractors have professional development opportunities through meeting and networking with local Rotarians, the business and civic leaders of the community.

Take advantage of leadership development opportunities by running for an office or volunteering for committees.  Various committees might include fundraising, public relations, community service, social activities, and much more.  There are also leadership opportunities at the district and international levels.
