Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for those aged 18-30, regardless of gender. Rotaract clubs are usually located in colleges or universities, but can also be community based. These clubs are sponsored by the local Rotary, who supply financial support and contacts as well as mentoring. Projects are designed to assist local communities and advance international understanding, as well as utilize leadership training and professional development.

The first Rotaract club was chartered on 13 March, 1968, in North Charlotte, North Carolina U.S.A. Today there are nearly 6,554 Rotaract clubs in 146 countries with an estimated 150,000 members, called Rotaractors. Each year, Rotaractors from around the globe have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas during a forum scheduled immediately prior to the annual Rotary Convention.

The high school equivalent of Rotoract is Interact.
