About Rotaract

Rotaract is an international organisation of service clubs for men and women aged 18-30 that fosters leadership and responsible citizenship, encourages high ethical standards in business and promotes international understanding and peace.
Rotaract was founded in 1968 and is a program of Rotary International. Rotaract Clubs work under the guidance of their local Rotary Club, and take their name from a combination of the words Rotary and action. Rotaract Club of Shah Alam was chartered in 1983 and its name is took from it guardian, Rotary Club of Shah Alam.
Today, there are some 160,000 members in more than 6,700 RotaractClubs around the world. Clubs draw members from the community or are organized as an extracurricular activity for college students. Rotaractors should be of good standing and reputation in their communities.
Rotaract Clubs conduct formal meetings, usually every two weeks,which feature speakers, tours of local businesses, cultural activities, discussions, and visits to other clubs. Rotaractors utilise weekends for service project work, social events, and professional and leadership development workshops. The Rotaract Club of Shah Alam meets on 1st and 3rd Friday of each month, 7.30pm, at Kelab Shah Alam (Shah Alam Club) in Shah Alam.
Every   Rotaract Club is part   of a District Rotaract Organisation.   It is ran by elected representatives with support from sponsoring Rotarians. The District Organisation plans regional conferences, develops regional projects, holds club leadership training programs, and sponsors special events to strengthen the bond among clubs.
Rotaract functions internationally through a committee of Rotaractors and Rotarians. This committee works with Rotary International to plan an annual day-long forum held prior to the Rotary international convention. This event offers Rotaractors from all over the world the chance to meet, discuss issues of mutual   interest,   and develop friendships based on international goodwill and understanding. Every three years Rotaractors conduct another international   meeting called Interota, named from the words international and Rotaract.
