There are three types of activities within the Rotaract Program that all clubs undertake in varying degrees:

  • professional development
  • leadership development
  • service projects
        ... which in turn involve:
  • Organizing, coordinating, and participating in local community service projects
  • enjoying social events, having fun, and make new friends here and overseas
  • participating in international humanitarian aid projects
  • organizing seminars and guest speakers to aid their own professional development
  • taking on various levels of responsibility as part of their leadership development
  • using various opportunities to hone their public speaking skills
