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. Rotaract at Cecil College is both college-based and community-based and is sponsored by both the Elkton and North East Rotary clubs.
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.
All Rotaract efforts begin at the local grassroots level and Rotaract clubs have access to
many of the resources of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation, as well as resources
at Cecil College.
As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more
than 8,000 Rotaract clubs in some 155 countries and geographic areas, Rotaract has become
a worldwide phenomenon.
Rotaractors also often spearhead the formation of Interact clubs (for high schoolers)
and participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. Rotaractors also can go on to become
Ambassadorial Scholars or Group Study Exchange team members.
What Does a Rotaract Club Do?
Rotaract clubs organize a variety of projects and activities, depending on the interests of the club members. However, three main areas of focus include professional development, leadership development, and service projects (both locally and internationally). Together, these areas ensure clubs have a balanced service program while providing opportunities for the personal development. It is important to remember that Rotaract, like Rotary, is diverse, and each club acquires unique qualities, depending where in the world it is established.Upcoming Events:
