WHAT IS ROTARACT?

πŸ“‘πŸ“‘ Learn
  • Rotaract is an organisation for young adults that provides professional development, fun, friendship, fellowship, leadership and service above self.
  • It was formed from a parent body called Rotary.
  • This organisation, Rotary, was founded on 23 February 1905, in USA, by a lawyer named Paul Percy Harris.
  • Rotary was principally built on Fellowship and friendship, as members hosted meetings in rotation.
  • In 1907, humanitarian service was added to Rotary. And the first ever Rotary project was the building of a public toilet in Chicago.
  • As the years went by, more professionals and business persons around the world organised themselves and formed Rotary clubs in their countries.
  • On 02 May 1960, the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program was born, initially designed for young people between the ages of 17 to 23 years (click here for the full history).
  • On 05 November 1962, a Rotary program was established for young people between 12 and 18 years (usually in Secondary School), to enhance personal development, leadership and service among young people.
  • This program was called Interact (International action). 
  • Following the huge success of Interact, Rotary sought to develop a program for young adults, and to keep Interactors engaged and focused after Interact.
  • This gave birth to Rotaract on 13 March 1968. It is was inaugurated by Rotary International President Luther Hodges as a Rotary program.
  • On 01 July 2020, Rotaract was elevated from a Rotary program, to a type of membership in Rotary, for young adults.

  • The club is the basic level of membership in Rotaract. We also have larger levels of membership like the Rotaract Zone, District and Multi-district.
  • The formation of a club is called the club's Charter. It is celebrated with a special certificate from Rotary International, called the Certificate of Organization or Charter Certificate.

The organisational structure of Rotaract begins from the Club. Rotaract clubs are coordinated in 4 ways:
  • University-based club: This is a Rotaract clubs that exist in a Polytechnic, University, School of Nursing and other institutions of higher education. (Eg: Rotaract Club of Federal University of Technology Owerri)
  • Community-based (CB) clubs: This is a club that is organised in a community. (Eg: Rotaract Club of Aladinma Owerri)
  • E-club: This is a club that conducts 100% of club meetings online. (Eg: Rotaract E-Club of Greater Nigeria).
  • Cause-based: This is a club where members are passionate about a particular cause and focus their service efforts towards the selected cause. (Eg: Rotaract eClub for the Environment USA)
πŸ“‘πŸ“‘ Club structure
  • During formation, a Rotaract club may decide to have a sponsor (Rotary or Rotaract) club that would regularly provide guidance and support to the club.
  • The BOD (Board of Directors) is the governing body of any Rotaract club.
  • BOD members include the club officers (President, Immediate Past President (IPP), vice-president, secretary and treasurer), the directors and the club committee chairs. BOD members are usually elected or appointed at least 6 months before their tenure
  • The club president presides at all club meetings and BOD meetings. The president also maintains regular communication with the sponsor club(s), the district and Rotary International.
  • The club president leads the affairs of the club for 1 Rotary year
  • Ideally, the club president is elected by club members, 2 Rotary years before their tenure.
  • During the first year, they are called president-nominee (PN) and begin trainings in preparation for their tenure.
  • During the second year, they are “ratified” to a new position called president-elect (PE) and continue to serve in preparation for their tenure.
  • After the second year, they officially become the club president.
  • Troika is a part of the club BOD consisting of the president, the president-elect and the president-nominee. In the Troika, the President-elect and president-nominee do not share the leadership roles of the president. They only understudy the president in preparation for their respective tenures.
  • Troika is an important part of the club. It represents the present and future!
  • Club activities like meetings, fun outing, trainings, projects, games and other activities help to keep club members engaged.
⭐⭐ Activity
  • What is the name of your Rotaract club.
  • What is the name of your club president?
πŸ“‘πŸ“‘ Zone structure
After the Club, the next level of organisation, the structure of Rotaract may differ slightly as you move from place to place. In some African countries like Nigeria, the next level is the Rotaract Zone:
  • A Rotaract Zone is the collection of various Rotaract clubs in a particular location.
  • For example, Zone E (In District 9125) comprises all clubs in Niger, Abuja and Nasarawa states. Imo Zone 7 (in District 9142) comprises all clubs in Imo State.
  • The Assistant District Rotaract Representative (ADRR) supervises the affairs of Rotaract clubs in the Zone for 1 Rotary year.
  • The ADRR also provides leadership and guidance for the president of the Rotaract clubs under their supervision.
  • The ADRR is appointed at least 6 months before their tenure, by the District Rotaract Representative (DRR).
  • The ADRR may appoint some Zonal Officers to assist in discharging leadership roles in the Zone.
  • In addition, Zonal activities like trainings, meetings, picnics, are often coordinated to unite Rotaractors within the Zone.
⭐⭐ Activity
  • Name the Rotaract Zone that your club is located in.
  • What is the name of the ADRR?
πŸ“‘πŸ“‘ District structure
The next level of organisation after the Rotaract Zone is the District:
  • A District is a collection of various Rotaract Zones in a particular location.
  • The District usually cover an area that is larger than the Rotaract Zone. For Example, District 9142 is made up of 7 states in Nigeria.
  • The District Rotaract Representative (DRR) coordinates the affairs of the Rotaractors in the District for 1 Rotary year.
  • The DRR is elected by the Rotaractors in the District, 2 Rotary years before their tenure. In this position, they are called the District Rotaract Representative-nominee (DRRN)
  • After one year of serving as DRRN, they are ratified to a new position called the District Rotaract Representative-elect (DRRE), while another member is elected to serve as the new DRRN.
  • The DRRE serves in this position for 1 Rotary year before eventually becoming the DRR of the District.
  • The DRR appoints District Officers to assist in discharging the enormous leadership roles. They include: District Secretary, District Treasurer and Event Chairs.
  • The DRR may also chair a District Council, which consists of all the Rotaract club presidents and secretaries in the District.
  • In a District, the Troika is the DRR, DRRE AND DRRN. However, the DRRE and DRRN do not share the leadership roles of the DRR. They understudy the DRR in preparation for their terms.
  • The DRR provides support, training, leadership and guidance for the Rotaractors and Officers in the entire District. They also coordinate District programs and activities that keep the Rotaractors to remain enthused.
