Rotaract is the collegiate partner of Rotary International, a global service organization guided by the motto "Service Above Self." Each month, our service initiatives align with one of Rotary's Areas of Focus, allowing members to address a wide range of community needs through meaningful, hands-on volunteer work. We are committed to connecting students with the Rochester community through strong partnerships with local organizations, including People's Pantry, Greenovation, Open Door Mission, Willow Domestic Violence Center, and Rochester Rotary chapters. These collaborations provide members with consistent opportunities to serve, build lasting community relationships, and create a meaningful impact both locally and globally.
The Rotary's areas of focus include: community economic development, education & literacy, disease prevention, conflict prevention, clean water & sanitation, maternal & child health, and protecting the environment.
Join a global network of over 1.2 million Rotarians and Rotaractors. Through our affiliation with Rotary International, members gain access to accomplished professionals and community leaders across diverse fields, creating opportunities for mentorship, networking, and professional growth.
Rotary International is a global service organization dedicated to tackling some of the world's most pressing challenges. As a Rotaract club, we support this mission by creating meaningful change through service projects and community initiatives in Rochester.
Our fundraising initiatives support local and global service projects while giving members the opportunity to develop skills in event planning, community outreach, and donor engagement. Through creative fundraisers and partnerships with local businesses and organizations, members make a meaningful impact while gaining valuable leadership experience.
