What is Rotaract?
Rotaract is a global organisation that provides opportunities for young adults to enhance their knowledge and skills through personal development, as well as address the physical and social needs of their communities whilst promoting better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.
To the members of the Rotaract Club of Brisbane Rivercity though, Rotaract is the opportunity to be a part of the bigger picture, to find people who share similar values and pursuits, as well as having fun in a safe and welcoming environment. It’s a way to broaden your horizons, to meet people from all around the world and an opportunity to make the world a better place, all while hanging out with people over a drink.
