Rotaract clubs are part of a global effort to bring peace and international understanding to the world. This effort starts at the community level but knows no limits in its outreach. Rotaractors have access to the many resources of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. Rotary International provides the administrative support that helps Rotaract clubs thrive.
The Rotaract Club of Bakersfield meets at various locations the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at 5:45p.m. We meet to eat dinner, have occupational craft talks, and to discuss community programs and club events. Some of the main projects of Bakersfield Rotaract are Relay For Life, Cristmas and Thanksgiving Dinners, and helping The Rotary Club of Bakersfield East with their annual Pasta Feast. Anyone interested in the club is welcome to join us. Check our calandar for the current meeting place.
