The first Rotaract Club in District 5190 is now being organized. 15 young men and women met on September 29th discuss chartering a Rotaract Club in the Truckee Meadows (Reno /Sparks). Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. The new Truckee Meadows Rotaract club will be community-based and is jointly sponsored by the Rotary clubs of Reno and Reno Sunrise. Rotaract clubs are true "partners in service" and key members of the Rotary family. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service. All Rotaract efforts begin at the local grassroots level and all Rotaract clubs have access to the many resources of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 7,600 Rotaract clubs in some 158 countries, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon. Rotaractors also often spearhead the formation of Interact clubs and participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. Rotaractors also can go on to become Ambassadorial Scholars or Group Study Exchange team members. General information about Rotaract can be found on the Rotary International website by clicking here.
