Youth Services – Rotaract – The Rotary Club of Bellville

Rotaract

The purpose of Rotaract is to provide an opportunity for young men and women to enhance the knowledge and skills that will assist them in personal development, to address the physical and social needs of their communities, and to promote better relations between all people worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.

Group of Young Professionals

This group of young professionals and students are committed to service and leadership in the Bellville community and are exceptional partners to the Rotary Club of Bellville as they work together on joint projects, as well as participating in many Rotary District Events. Social events are organised and members regularly attend Rotary training workshops where information and skills and challenges are shared. Our Rotaract club is one of the most experienced in the district and a number of members continually serve on the District’s various Rotary and Rotaract committees.

Bellville Rotaractors

Bellville Rotaractors enjoy hands- on projects and share a strong link to the Interact clubs in the area as they often coordinate and facilitate the District RYLA leadership camps (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) as well as training and environmental camps throughout the year that are aimed at Interactors. They also coordinate the characters of Oom Piets Christmas Party hosted by Durbanville Rotary Club.

Fellowship through service

The Bellville Rotaract Club was charted by the Rotary Club of Bellville in January 2011 with Fifteen members. They have since grown from strength to strength, coordinating projects from One-to-One for the mentally and physically challenged, volunteering time at local old ages homes, clothing and school shoe drives and sexual awareness workshops to name a few. Many of our rotaractors are dual members of the Rotary Club of Bellville and also serve on the District Rotaract Committee.

Bellville Rotaract meets every second Monday at UWC.
