Why Should I Join Rotaract?


Well, Here I give you following reasons to join Rotaract!

1. Friendship: In an increasingly complex world, Rotaract provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.
2. Business Development: The second original reason for Rotary`s beginning is business
development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life. Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.
3. Leadership Development: Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people. Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education.
Leadership: – learning how to motivate, influence, and lead leaders.
4. Citizenship in the Community: Membership in a Rotaract club makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotaract club consists of the most active citizens of any community.
5. Public Speaking Skills: Many individuals who joined Rotaract were afraid to speak in public. Rotaract develops confidence and skill in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills.
6. The Development of Social Skills: Every week and at various events and functions, Rotary develops one’s personality, social skills and people skills. Rotary is for people who like people.
7. Vocational Skills: Every Rotaractor is expected to take part in the growth and development of his or her own profession or vocation; to serve on committees and to teach youth about one’s job or vocation. Rotaract helps to make one a better doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc.
8. The Development of Ethics: Rotarians practice a 4-Way Test that governs one’s ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships.
9. Cultural Awareness: Around the world, practically every religion, country, culture, race, creed, political persuasion, language, color, and ethnic identity is found in Rotary. It is a cross section of the world’s most prominent citizens from every background. Rotaractors become aware of their cultures and learn to love and work with people everywhere.
They become better citizens of their countries in the process.
10. Prestige: Rotary members are prominent people: leaders of business, the professions, art, government, sports, military, religion, and all disciplines. Rotary is the oldest and most prestigious service club in the world. Its ranks include executives, managers, and professionals – people who make decisions and influence policy.
11. The Opportunity to Serve: Rotaract is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its product is service. Rotaractors provide community service to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotaractor: the chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one’s own life. It is richly rewarding.
12. Assistance when Traveling: Because there are Rotary clubs everywhere, many a Rotarian in need of a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice, etc., while traveling has found assistance through Rotary.
13. Continuing Education: Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep one informed about what is going on in the community, nation, and world. Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers and a variety of timely topics.
14. Fun: Rotaract is fun, a lot of fun. Each meeting is fun. The club projects are fun. Social activities are fun. The service is fun.
15. Entertainment: Every Rotaract club and district has parties and activities that provide diversion in one’s business life.
Rotaract holds conferences, conventions, assemblies, and institutes that provide entertainment in addition to Rotaract information, education, and service.

“Every Rotaractor must adopt all these qualities and try to become a true person and leader.”
