Rotaract - Swiss School of Management Revenue and Competitors

This page is dedicated to the Rotaract Club of the Swiss School of Management. All SSM students and alumni are welcomed to join this amazing Club. Rotaract originally began as a Rotary International youth program in 1968 at Charlotte North Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, and has grown into a major organization of over 10,904 clubs spread around the world and over 203,000 members in 189 countries.[3] It is a service, leadership, professional and community service organization (often miscommunicated as a Social Service Club) for young men and women between the ages 18 and over.[4] Rotaract focuses on the development of young adults as leaders in their communities and workplaces. Clubs around the world also take part in international service projects, in a global effort to bring peace and international understanding to the world. \Rotaract\ stands for \Rotary in Action, although the name originally comes from a combination of \Rotary\ and \Interact\ (International + Action), the high school level program created by Rotary International in 1962. Most Rotaract activities take place at the club level. Rotaract clubs hold formal meetings in person or virtually, usually every two weeks, which feature speakers, special outings, social activities, discussions or visits to other clubs. Club members get together on designated days for service project work, social events, or professional/leadership development workshops. To be eligible for membership, prospective members must be 18 years of age and over, show that they are committed to Rotaract, and show that they are of good standing in the community. After being approved by the club, prospective members are 'inducted' to become members, also known as 'Rotaractors'.

Rotaract Club undertake various projects for the overall development of their members.
