| Rotaract & Rotary Trivia What is the difference between community-based and university-based Rotaract clubs? Although both approaches to Rotaract club organization have proven successful in various parts of the world, there are some key differences. Typically, community-based clubs are open to all members of the community who are between the ages of 18-30. They can be "young professionals" or a combination of students and professionals. It is important for a Rotarian or a committee of Rotarians to serve as the liaison between the clubs. University-based clubs are sponsored in conjunction with a local college or university. The Rotary club should work within the school's regulations regarding student organizations and extra-curricular activities. The club may need a faculty adviser, but a Rotarian liaison also is important. If there is a Rotarian on the faculty, staff, or board of a local college, that person often makes a good adviser. |
| Contact Information If you have information, suggestions or feedback that you think the board might use to improve the club, we'd love to hear what you think, so please send your ideas to info@sandiegorotaract.org, snail-mail them to
