Rotaract is a proud part of Rotary International - a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers. For over a century, Rotary members have flown the flag of "Service Above Self," uniting across cultures and continents to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges.

From spearheading the global campaign to eradicate polio to funding local sustainable projects in clean water, education, and economic development, Rotary transforms goodwill into tangible, lasting impact.

Founded in 1967 as an initiative of Rotary, Rotaract stands for “Rotary in Action”, and is aimed at young professionals between the ages of 18 and 35. Together we organize projects / activities, and support charities. In addition, personal development, networking and simply having fun together play a major role within our organization.

Rotaract is an association that strives to make a meaningful contribution to society. On the one hand, this means that charities at home and abroad are supported. Often these targets are groups of people who are less affected and who could use a helping hand. On the other hand, the members of Rotaract are also a good cause in themselves; By organizing and following training courses, workshops and projects, Rotaractors gain experience and there are many learning moments.

In addition, Rotaract is a social club, with drinks, outings, excursions, company visits and cultural events. Keywords are networking, leadership development, teamwork, fun and enthusiasm! 

Rotaract is a worldwide organization with more than 176,000 members, spread over 156 countries. The 43 clubs in the Netherlands can be found in both large cities and small villages. Rotaract Netherlands currently has approximately 450 members.
