Rotaract Club of Shanghai consists of a group of foreigners adopting the values of Rotary and learning from its 112 years of knowhow in charity and service to support the Chinese Community. It is a gathering for adults ages 18-30 that meets once a week to exchange ideas, plan activities and projects, and socialize. While Rotary clubs serve as sponsors, Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their club and what projects and activities to carry out. Rotaract members form a global community of young adults taking action for positive change, sharing ideas, and looking at the world’s challenges in new ways. Clubs engage in hands-on service projects, social activities, and professional development opportunities.
