Programmes of Rotaract
Professional Development

Early career decisions are critical.

Business and professional support from successful Rotarians help make these programmes especially valuable. Various activities organised under this prgramme are:

  • Special professional and vocational forums
  • Business technology updates
  • Management and marketing seminars
  • Conferences on business and professional ethics
  • Presentations on finance and credit options for business start-up
  • Visits to factories and stock exchanges etc.
          
Community Service

Rotaract clubs conduct at least one Community Service project each year in an effort to improve the lives of the people around them. The possibilities for worthwhile projects are endless. Rotaractors not only have great ideas about how to help people in need, but together they have the power to make these ideas work. Many Rotaract service projects focus on current issues of importance to young adults.

Leadership Development

Rotaract builds leaders, and leaders build strong clubs with effective programmes. Toward this end, Rotaract clubs organise communication and public speaking seminars, talks on effective club administration, training programmes for club officers, workshops that explore ways to organise and promote club projects, and informative meetings about Rotary programmes and activities. Various activities organised under this prgramme are:

  • Improving public speaking skills
  • Techniques for marketing the Rotaract program to potential members
  • Building consensus among members
  • delegating project responsibilities and ensuring the necessary follow-up
  • Identifying channels for project publicity and promotion
  • Finding financial resources for strengthening club development
  • Assessing project success
     
International Service

Because Rotaractors want to learn more about other cultures and promote international good-will and understanding, they undertake at least one International Service project each year. Such activities take many forms:

In District 3010 (India), Rotaractors from Delhi Downtown and Interactors from The British School organised cultural evening (Harmony) where they invited 24 countries to present their traditional dances and set-up booths to disseminate information about their respective cultures and lifestyles.
