What is Rotaract?
Rotaract is Rotary for people aged 18-30ish
We come under the Rotary International banner but in recent years have been made the
equivalent to Rotarians by Rotary International as part of #elevaterotaract
We focus on serving the community, helping on an international scale and personal
development all from a youth perspective.
