Rotaract
Ages 18 and older
Rotaract clubs bring together people aged 18 and older to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service.
In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action through service. Rotaract members decide how to organise and run their clubs, manage their own funds, and plan and carry out activities and service projects. Rotary club sponsors offer guidance and support and work with the club as partners in service.
In EldoretThere are three Rotaract clubs in and around Eldoret: Rotaract Club of Eldoret, Rotaract Club of Moi University – Annex, and Rotaract Club of CUEA Gabba.
Interact clubs bring together young people aged 12 to 18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self.
The programme shows secondary school students that serious leadership can be seriously fun. Interact clubs organise at least two projects every year: one that helps their school or community, and one that promotes international understanding. Rotary club sponsors mentor and guide Interactors as they carry out projects and develop leadership skills.
In EldoretThe Interact Club of Nova Pioneer Eldoret – Boys brings the programme to secondary school students here in Eldoret.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)
Young people and students
RYLA is a leadership development program for young people who want to learn new skills, build their confidence, and have fun.
RYLA is an intensive leadership experience organised by Rotary clubs and districts, where Rotary helps students hone their leadership potential while making connections. Events include presentations, activities and workshops covering a wide range of topics.
Rotary Youth Exchange
Ages 15–19
Rotary Youth Exchange builds peace one young person at a time. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens.
Exchanges for students aged 15 to 19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. Long-term exchanges last a full academic year, with students attending local schools and living with multiple host families. Short-term exchanges last from several days to three months and are often structured as camps, tours or homestays during school holidays.
