SMU Rotaract Club
ABOUT US
A youth development club that places emphasis on service, outreach and fellowship. SMU Rotaract aims to provide an enriching experience for all our members through our three main avenues - Community Service, Professional Development and Club Service.
Here at SMU Rotaract we are a fun group of people collectively committed to the cause of community service and participants can expect to have ample chances to network with like-minded individuals who have the heart to serve as well as opportunities to hone their soft skills such as communication, leadership and project management through project sessions, workshops and career networking sessions while taking away fond memories of their time serving the community with fellow SMU students.

OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB?
We will have interviews to join SMU Rotaract as a volunteer for our 4 main Community Service projects.
"Rotaract has provided me with the opportunity to develop my professional skills. I have had the chance to meet leaders who were the masters of their field. On top of that, Rotaract creates the perfect environment for me to personally give back to the community and make the world a better place. Rotaract makes serving our community a true privilege and pleasure."
- Bryce Yeo, Honorary Financial Secretary, School of Business, Year 2
"Being in Rotaract amidst COVID-19 was definitely not easy as on one hand I had to deal with understanding a whole new CCA and on the other, have to learn to work effectively virtually. However, it was an experience I would never regret. We always say how trust and communication is very important in a team but it is only through working virtually in Rotaract that I truly understand how important those values are. And finally, Rotaract is a good stepping stone for anyone who is afraid to step out of their comfort zone as everyone in there are all helpful and sincere."
- Farm An Qi, President, School of Accountancy, Year 3
