Rotaract is a program by Rotary International for people between 18 and 32 years. You can find Rotaract clubs all around the world and in Germany more than 170 Rotaract Clubs exist. There are not ideological, religious or other boundaries and all joung people are invited to visit the Club.
I’m a member and past president of Rotaract Club of Cologne.
The club life of Rotaract clubs consists of 3 pillars:
1) Social and community service: Every Rotaract club executes projects for the community. These projects may be local or international. They may be fund raising projects or hands-on projects.
2) Learning: Every club invites speakers on a regular basis. With that members get to hear speeches by leading characters on various topics. Members are also asked to take over responsibility on projects or as members of the club board.
3) Enjoyment: Partying, having a good time and making friends is of course important, too.

Rotaract Travel Weeks
In oct 2009 I started a new initiative which already spreaded all over the world. Today more than 3000 Rotaractors got involved and joined the respective Facebook groups.
The idea: Rotaractors can use the platform Rotaract Travel Weeks to connect to other Rotaractors worldwide when travelling. They may stay at a Rotaractor’s house and benefit from their local knowledge. On the other hand Rotaractors can accomodate Rotaractors at their house and make friends internationally.
