About Rotaract
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are 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.

History
Rotaract, Rotary International's service club program for young adults ages 18-30, was officially
inaugurated during January 1968 under RI President Luther Hodges. On 13 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 the early 1920s.
Today, Rotaract continues to experience phenomenal growth. There are currently more than
7,500 Rotaract clubs in more than 155 countries, with an estimated membership of more than 173,000 Rotaractors. As the program
continues to grow, Rotaractors repeatedly show that they are prepared for "Fellowship Through Service."
