Why Join Rotaract?
Rotaract emphasizes the importance of what the individual can do for their community. But there is no shame in asking, “What good does that do for each individual?” Rotaract is a small extension of it’s parent organization, Rotary International. This is a robust network of potential friends, neighbors, colleagues, and even employers. To involve oneself in Rotaract is to embrace the opportunity for personal and professional advancement through community outreach, and these internal networks of extremely professionally developed individuals.
We cannot begin to count the number of our members who have been able to significantly and rapidly develop their careers because of the connections they’ve made within our organization. But if your career isn’t the focus, then you’ll still have the opportunity to grow yourself personally through your experiences with Rotaract. Our events can develop powerful relationships among members of the communities we serve, and among members of Rotaract and Rotary International itself. Alongside these individuals, you will learn about a variety of lifestyles, cultures, histories, and you may even pick up some practical and handy skills for the future!
Among these opportunities for personal and professional growth are the opportunities for some social events! Members of Rotaract are frequently organizing or invited to a number of events where we can simply relax and chat. Dinners, parties, celebrations, and many other events are offered to our members. So, if you are looking for some free food, good company, and an opportunity to meet some wonderful and well-connected people, look no further!
