Who We Are
About Us
We provide young professionals with an opportunity to serve the local and global community, network with industry leaders, and cultivate their leadership skills while developing lasting and meaningful relationships.
San Diego Rotaract is part of a global community of young adults taking action for positive change. We meet at least twice a month to exchange ideas, plan activities and projects, and socialize. Service projects occur throughout the month and can be found on our calendar. We are part of Rotaract district 5340 and are sponsored by San Diego Downtown Rotary Club and San Diego Rotary Club.
Our members share a desire to better their community and themselves, make friends, and have fun! Some rotaractors are earning masters degree and professional certificates, most are working full time.
For more information about the club, please take a look at our New Member Packet.
