Rotaract Club of Boston - Join Us in Service!
The Rotaract Club of Boston was formed in the Fall of 2003 and received it's charter from Rotary International in the Spring of 2004.
Our members include former Interact Club Members, Rotary Youth Exchange Alumni, Ambassadorial Scholar Alumni, World Peace Fellow
Alumni, Inbound and Outbound Ambassadorial Scholars, college students, young working professionals, sons and daughters of Rotarians
as well as Rotaractors from around the world who are attending school or interning in the Boston area. Because of our diverse
membership, the Boston Rotaract Club is a very dynamic group offering a very international perspective on community and world
affairs. With over 7,000 Rotaract Clubs in 163 countries and geographical areas, members have an instant network around the globe.
We invite men and women, between the ages of 18 and 30, to explore our club as a way to serve both the local and international communities.
Regular meetings are held every Sunday at 1:30 PM in the Boston Rotary Club office located at 20 Park Plaza, Suite 518, Boston, MA 02116.
Driven by a commitment to world peace and understanding, our thoughtful members organize and participate in volunteer projects that
significantly improve people's lives. Recent service projects include sending wheelchairs to a village in Guatemala, fund-raising to help
women in developing countries, visiting the elderly during the holidays, and cooking at a homeless shelter.
Rotaract's greatest strength is the friendships it fosters. Through interactions at meetings and fun social outings, such as, international dining,
retreats and cultural events, our members find life long friends in each other. Rotaractors also develop meaningful relationships with Rotarians, community, business and political leaders, as well as those who share Rotary ideals of "Service Above Self" around the world.
In addition to learning from the leading professionals, who speak at our meetings, Rotaractors develop into leaders through event organization
and project management opportunities. This forum challenges members' analytical and people skills as they think hard about the needs of the
people they aim to serve and grow in their understanding of the world through engaging dialogs with diverse groups of people.
