Rotaract (which stands for Rotary in Action) is a Rotary-partner organization for young men and women ages 18 and up. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they're structured in a variety of ways to best serve the needs of their community. In 2019 Rotary recognized Rotaract as partners in service and works with them and other key members of the Rotary family, to make great progress towards solving problems locally and around the world.
