ROTARACT CLUB

of

Northern Caribbean University

District 7020 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 Ser-

vice 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.

The Rotaract Club of NCU was formed in August

1998, and is the oldest institution based club in dis-

trict 7020.

We are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mande-

ville. 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 us-

Northern 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 commu-

nity from the hilltop, being a beacon emulating its

institution
