What is Rotaract? Rotaract is a structured program of Rotary International for young professionals and students ages 18 to 30 that are committed to service and leadership in their communities and abroad. Established in 1968, Rotaract is a global network of young people who are changing the world with clubs in over 160 countries. Rotaract Clubs operate much like Rotary Clubs. Their members, called Rotaractors, follow the 4- Way Test and exemplify Service Above Self. Although Rotaractors are not considered to be “junior Rotarians,” they are, in fact, the Rotarians of the future. The goals of Rotaract, as set forth by Rotary International, are • To develop professional and leadership skills; • To emphasize respect for the rights of oth ers, and to promote ethical standards and the dignity of all useful occupations; • To provide opportunities for young people to address the needs and concerns of the com - munity and our world; • To provide opportunities for working in coop- eration with sponsoring Rotary clubs; and • To motivate young people for eventual membership in Rotary.

ROTARACT CLUB OF NORTHERN CARIBBEAN UNVERSITY
The Rotaract Club of NCU was formed in August 1998, and is the oldest institution based club in district 7020.
We are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mandeville. Over our 16 years of existence, the club has won several presidential citations, we are the first institution based to win the “Club of Year” award from the district. In 2010, the club also won the “International Project of The Year” award for its project, “Project Green Day” which saw 213 trees being planted by 21 clubs around the world almost simultaneously. In 2012, the club received a "Gold Award" for outstanding performance.
The club logo which was developed and introduced in 2012 represents the institution which hosts usNorthern Caribbean University, otherwise called “The Beacon on the Hill”. The logo concept was chosen to represent that the Rotaract Club of NCU is reaching out to its community from the hilltop, being a beacon emulating its institution
