Rotaract clubs bring together people aged 18 and above to exchange ideas with each other in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and foster friendships through service. The establishment of a great number of Rotaract clubs across District 3450 since last century illustrates the region’s diversity and inclusivity with each club having unique and distinct styles to run and manage their funds for various activities and service projects that seek to relieve social difficulties in their communities and provide assistance to people in need.
Rotaract has made it their mission to provide opportunities of serving, learning, leading, and hence creating social significance and facilitating personal development, for passionate young adults to volunteer, develop their interpersonal communication skills and enhance professional knowledge by taking many different leadership roles in social service projects, networking and fellowship events to promote local and international youth exchange of ideas, values and insights.
All Rotaract efforts begin at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities’ physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
Each Rotaract club shall set out at least five measurable goals in reference to the mission of Rotaract, which shall serve as a guide to the club’s operation, project planning and use of funds.
The goals shall include:
1. To develop members’ professional and leadership skills;
2. To emphasize respect for the rights of others, and to recognize the dignity and value of all useful occupations as opportunities to serve;
3. To provide opportunities for people to address the needs and concerns in their community and in the world;
4. To recognize, practice and promote ethical standards as leadership qualities and vocational responsibilities; and
5. To facilitate and encourage members’ transition to membership of Rotary clubs as they become personally and professionally more established.
