About Rotaract

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30.

Rotaract clubs are usually community-based or university-based and are sponsored by a local Rotary club making them true "partners in service" and key members of the Rotary family.

Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.

All Rotaract efforts begin at the local grassroots level and all Rotaract clubs have access to the many resources of Rotary International.

As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 7,500 Rotaract clubs in some 155 countries, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Our Exchange Students

Rotary Exchange is a program that allows high school students to exchange countries for up to one year.

During this time these students learn the language and culture of their new country while studying at our high schools.

Both our sponsoring Rotary Clubs, Matilda Bay and Subiaco, host exchange students. This year we have Bastian Barthelemy from Belgium and Heidi Kana from Finland.

These students are welcomed into Rotaract as an alternative to the "adult" Rotary meetings.

They join us in our social events and while having fun they learn about the youth of Australia and we learn about other countries cultures. It's a give and take friendship that we all value.
