President's Note
Hello and Welcome to the Rotaract Club of American University’s website. Here we will post updates and information regarding our club. This year, we will continue to work on our international partnership with the Rotary Club in San Jose, Costa Rica. We will be traveling to La Carpio again next summer to continue the work we began this year. The funds from our major fundraisers will go towards the rebuilding of their community after a devastating flood a few years ago. We will also be continuing our local work with Food and Friends, the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and other DC-based organizations.
Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions regarding club projects, membership, or other general information. Aside from that, welcome to our website!

Hello!
Welcome, all new and returning Rotaract members. This year, amidst the chaotic nature of the world right now, we will be moving forward with another fantastic Rotaract year under our belt! We will be focused on adapting and changing how we participate in community service, collaborate with our communities, and network with the professional world. Though we may not for the time being be able to give back to our communities in person, we can still do so through technology and creativity.
For those of you who do not know what Rotaract is and what we do, we are a community service-based organization focused on giving back to our communities locally and internationally. We also invite speakers from many fields of work and study to share their experiences and promote networking through professional development. In the past, we have invited American University professors, the Editor in Chief of politico, local Rotarians, and many others to speak and give insight and advice to our club members. Rotaract also holds multiple community service events, projects, and fundraisers throughout the year.
My executive board and I welcome you to continue to give back to your communities in any capacity possible. Rotaract is about Service Above Self and we hope you carry that ideal through your actions and thoughts as you give back to your community in every way.
I look forward to leading such an incredible organization and hope you are too!
