Rotaract Mission
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored
service club for young men and
women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract
clubs are either community or
university based, and they’re
sponsored by a local Rotary
club. This makes them true
"partners in service" and key
members of the family of Rotary.
As such, the mission of Rotaract
is the same as Rotary
International.
Object of Rotary
The
Object of Rotary is to encourage
and foster the ideal of service
as a basis of worthy enterprise
and, in particular, to encourage
and foster:
FIRST- The development of
acquaintance as an opportunity
for service;
SECOND- High ethical
standards in business and
professions, the recognition of
the worthiness of all useful
occupations, and the dignifying
of each Rotarian's occupation as
an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD- The application of
the ideal of service in each
Rotarian's personal, business,
and community life;
FOURTH- The advancement of
international understanding,
goodwill, and peace through a
world fellowship of business and
professional persons united in
the ideal of service.
Four Avenues of Service
Club Service is responsible
for club operations and provides
an opportunity to develop
acquaintance and fellowship as
an opportunity for service. Club
Service raises funds to support
the other avenues of service,
and assists in acquiring
lecturers to address community
issues targeting youth and
business.
Vocational Service is
responsible for promoting high
ethical standards within the
business and professional
community and recognizing the
worthiness of all useful
occupations as an opportunity to
serve.
Community Service
provides the opportunity for
each Rotarian to apply the ideal
of service in his/her personal,
business, and community life.
International Service
provides Rotarians the
opportunity to advance
international understanding,
goodwill, and peace.
The Four-Way Test
Encouraging high ethical
standards and respect for all
worthy vocations has been a
hallmark of Rotary from its
earliest days. In their business
and professional lives,
Rotarians and Rotaractors abide
by The Four-Way Test.
Of the things we think, say or
do
1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all
concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL
and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL
to all concerned?
