Young Rotary
Rotary encourages all family members to take part in activities and programmes, and specifically offers the chance for young people to develop personal skills and a better awareness of problems that face the world today. This is an opportunity to meet, work and have a great time with like-minded young people, guided and supported by Rotarians.
Rotaract for 18 to 30 year olds
Rotaract members are fun, enthusiastic and active young men and women aged 18 to 30. Membership provides the opportunity to meet new people, expand social life, try new activities, and make a difference in the local community. Clubs are either community or university based and are sponsored by a local Rotary club, making them key members of the Rotary family.
As one of Rotary's most significant and fastest-growing programmes, with more than 7,000 clubs in about 163 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
As well as enjoying many social activities, Rotaractors get a chance to make a real difference to people's lives. All Rotaract efforts begin at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities' physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.

They also marshal at the Maidenhead Half Marathon, regularly volunteer at the local food bank FoodShare, run charity fundraisers and are generally out and about making our community a better place. In addition to the numerous community activities there are of course social ones, enabling members to get to know each other better and to have fun being involved in the local community. “Maidenhead Rotaract enables young people to join a global movement of young leaders who are developing innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges” commented Lisa Hunter, former President of Maidenhead Rotaract and current member of Maidenhead Bridge Rotary Club. “As Maidenhead Rotaract enters its 40th year we’re kicking off an exciting recruitment campaign to induct 40 new members for 40 years of fun, friendship and volunteering.
