Rotaract: Rotaract is a program of Rotary International. Rotaract Clubs work under the guidance of their local Rotary Club, and take their name from a combination of the words Rotary and action. The first officially chartered Rotaract Club was in North Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1968, but clubs of young people associated in service with local Rotary Clubs had existed for several years in India and Europe. Link to our local ASU Club. 

RYLA (ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARD CAMP):  - Once per year, the Rotary Club of Scottsdale sponsors two high scholars who have demonstrated leadership skills, to participate in a 4-6 day leadership camp in northern Arizona.
