Ventura Rotaract chartered in District 5240 in May 2010. We hit the ground running taking up service and volunteer projects in support of Rotary and local non-profit organizations. Our group enjoys volunteering locally and internationally. Ventura Rotaract holds one general meeting, one board meeting, one social, and one volunteer event every month which keeps us mighty busy. At our general meetings, we strive to welcome and invite guest speakers to target the growth of our young professionals group. The goal of our socials is to network with others, including our fellow Rotarians, and to connect with individuals who might want to consider joining our group.
