Why Rotaract? What’s the difference?
ROTARACT
● Young Adults age 18+
● Aims to develop leadership skills, promote local
community service, and provide networking
opportunities for young professionals
● Sponsored by Rotary Clubs but operate
independently of them with own leadership and
processes
● Open to young adults of all educational and
professional backgrounds (usually students or
recent graduates)
● No large obligation to participate. Members can
join their club whenever and however they wish
ROTARY
● Adults age 30+
● Focuses on community service, international
humanitarian efforts, and promoting ethical
standards in business and the professional world
● Formal structure with elected officials and
committees
● Members are usually professionals and leaders in
the community
● Membership involves large commitment
Maybe we are not so different…
What do we want 2025 to look like?
The wonderful thing about Rotaract is that we get to do whatever our members are
interested or passionate about…
