As one of Rotary's most significant and fastest-growing service programs, with more than 8,400 clubs in about 170 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Service defines Rotary's character and is the basis for its appeal and visibility in the community. Service Above Self is the main philosophy that guides Rotary.
Each Rotaract club is required to complete at least two major service projects annually:
one to benefit the community and the other to promote international understanding.
District 7120 would like to know about your clubs activities and share them with

- Professional Development:
A club's professional development activities should expand its members' understanding of the work environment and business opportunities within their community. They should highlight the Rotaract's role in the community's economic development and illustrate how skills honed through service can help resolve problems in the workplace.
Each Rotaract club should provide professional development opportunities through activities such as:
- Special professional and vocational forums
- Business-related technology updates
- Management and marketing seminars
- Business and professional ethics conferences
- Presentations on finance and credit options for start-ups
Rotarian sponsor Clubs can enhance the professional development by providing practical advice on entering the business world and on overcoming vocational challenges. Joint Rotaract-Rotary professional development projects can help better acquaint Rotarians with the younger generation.
- Leadership Development: A club's leadership development activities aim not only to make members more effective leaders in their personal lives, but also to teach them how to develop and sustain strong clubs with relevant projects. Important topics to address in training club leaders include:
-
- Improving public speaking skills
- Developing techniques for marketing the Rotaract program to potential members
- Building consensus among members
- Delegating project responsibilities and ensuring necessary follow-up
- Identifying channels for project publicity and promotion
- Finding financial resources for strengthening club development
- Assessing project success
- Other opportunities available to Rotaract Members:
