Rotary started with the vision of one man-Paul Harris. The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful,lifelong friendships. Rotaract originally began as a Rotary international youth program in 1968 at Charlotte North Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, and has grown into a major organization of over 10,904 clubs spread around the world and over 203,000 members in 180 countries.
Rotaract is a service club for young people ages 18 to 30 who are dedicated to find innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges while developing leadership skills and making friends from around the world. Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their own clubs, manage their funds, plan & carry out activities and service projects that are important to their communities. Rotary clubs that sponsor Rotaract clubs offer guidance and support and work with Rotaractors as partners in service. Rotaract clubs bring together young people and older to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. It helps younger leaders build leadership skills expand education and learn the value of service.
