About Us
Rotaract Clubs around the world were created based on the ideas defined by Paul Harris, an individual who sought to bring together people of all cultures and backgrounds in order to create lifelong friendships and connections. The Middle Georgia State University Rotaract Club enables its distinguished members to assist both local and global communities in need. Through service, our Rotaract Club allows its members to exchange ideas with community leaders, develop leadership skills, and develop professional skills. Rotaract is a worldwide effort to bring peace and take action through service in order to fulfill the needs and necessities of others around the world. Rotaracters have the ability to be part of a global change by giving back to their home communities and communities around the world. Above all, the Middle Georgia Rotaract Club teaches its individuals how to become better leaders while collaborating with other Rotaract club members to make tomorrow better than today.
