Fargo Moorhead Rotaract
What is Rotaract?
Rotaract is an international program for adults ages 18 to 30 who want to make a difference. It was founded in
1968 by Rotary International, an association of clubs made up of service-minded business and professional
leaders. Today, there are more than 7,300 Rotary clubsponsored Rotaract clubs with some 170,000 members
– known as Rotaractors – in over 150 countries.
What does a Rotaract Club do?
Rotaract clubs hold meetings, usually every two weeks, which feature speakers, discussions, and visits to
other clubs. Rotaractors also get together for service projects, social activities, and leadership workshops.
Rotaract clubs organize a variety of projects and activities, depending primarily on the interests of
the club members. However, within the Rotaract program, all clubs undertake three types of
activities in varying degrees: professional development, leadership development, and service
projects. Together, these three areas ensure a balanced club program and provide important
experience and opportunities for the personal development of each Rotaractor.
