Rotaract UCI
About:
Rotary International is a global umbrella of passionate community leaders brought together in an effort to bring peace and understanding to the world.
Rotaract Clubs are part of this effort at the college level, where our efforts start at the community level, but have no restrictions on its power in outreach services. Rotaract Clubs have access to the many
resources of Rotary International, as well as the administrative support
that help Rotaract Clubs thrive.
ROTARACT at UCI:
Rotaract is an international service organization for young women and men ages 18-30. The club combines leadership and professional development with humanitarian service. Rotaract at UCI is sponsored by the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club. Its beginnings here on our UCI campus came in the Spring of 2009, when 50 Charter members were brought together under our slogan,
“Service above self,”
to bring change to the community and allow UCI students the opportunity to become more civically engaged, while growing as young professionals.
