Our mission is to bring high-energy, young professionals together in a fun environment to encourage community involvement and professional growth while developing the leadership skills of our members.

Rotaract is an international program for adults ages 18 to 30 who want to make a difference. It was founded in 1968 by Rotary International, an association of clubs made up of service-minded business and professional leaders.

Today, there are more than 7,300 Rotary club-sponsored Rotaract clubs with some 170,000 members – known as Rotaractors – in over 10 countries. Rotaract enables Rotaractors to grow personally and professionally, address community needs, and promote international understanding through friendship and service.

Rotaract of Columbia was founded in 2001 and is sponsored by Downtown Columbia Rotary. The club meets at Boone Tavern in Downtown Columbia for:

• A lunch meeting on the second Thursday of each month from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• A evening meeting on the fourth Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Meetings feature speakers, discussions and visitors from other clubs. Columbia Rotaractors also get together for service projects, social activities and leadership workshops. Beyond the club level, Rotaractors can take advantage of district conferences, projects and training seminars and participate in an international meeting prior to the annual Rotary International Convention.
