Join Rotaract NYC
Become part of a global community of young leaders dedicated to Service Above Self.
How to Join
Three Simple Steps
Attend as a Guest
Come to one of our general meetings or events. No invitation needed — just show up and introduce yourself! Meet current members and learn about what we do.
Prospective Member
After attending a few meetings, express your interest in joining. You'll have a brief orientation period to learn about Rotaract, our club culture, and expectations.
Full Member
Complete your membership application, pay annual dues, and you're in! Get full access to the member portal, service projects, events, and the global Rotaract network.
The Induction
Becoming an official Rotaractor
Once you've attended a few meetings and completed your application, you're welcomed in at a new-member induction — a short, meaningful ceremony held at one of our general meetings. You'll be introduced to the club, share a brief bio about who you are and why you're joining, and officially become part of our chapter and the global Rotaract network of 250,000+ young leaders. Inductions happen throughout the year, so there's always a next one to look forward to.
New members: send a short bio (who you are, your background, and why you want to join) to rotaractnewyorkcity@gmail.com ahead of your induction meeting.

Already in another Rotaract club?
Associate Membership
Active members of another Rotaract club are welcome to take part in RCUN as Associate Members. Because Rotary doesn't charge dues twice, Associates pay no RCUN dues — so they join our meetings, service projects, and events at the standard (non-member) rate and don't receive member perks or partner discounts. Associates don't vote on club matters or hold office, and after their first three months are expected to join a committee and get involved like everyone else.
Want the full benefits, perks, and a vote? Become a full member anytime by paying annual dues. Questions? rotaractnewyorkcity@gmail.com
