Start a club the whole community feels.

A new Rotaract club is a new group of young leaders in your community, and a fresh wave of energy for your Rotary club. The directory lays out nine steps from first idea to certified club, and then the ceremonial bookends: the charter presentation ceremony when the club is born, and the installation meeting every year after.

The nine-step process below is the directory's own sequence for a Rotary club sponsoring a new Rotaract club. Forms and dues figures come from the Rotaract Guidebook and official Rotary International guidance.
