About BU Rotaract:
Rotaract is an international, young-professional, service organization for adults, ages 18 to 30. It was founded in 1968 by Rotary International, an association of service clubs for business and professional leaders. Our mission is to provide opportunities for its members from across the University to be involved with the community of Boston through service outreach projects, partnerships with nearby organizations, and developments within the club.
Annually, we have served with Brookline Rotary on Brookline Day to spread backpack safety awareness to families and children. We have also worked with EPIC Leaders, an organization that focuses on "equipping a new generation of leaders, young people with disabilities, to celebrate their civil rights by making a lasting impact on their communities," by helping to renovate and repaint local high schools. We are always open to new opportunities, service ideas, and collaborations!
