It also aims to improve international understanding through international projects, conferences and parties. Would I be able to join Woking Rotaract? Rotaract is a non-denominational, non-religious, and non-political organisation. However, it does have a fixed age range of 18 to 30, which is the same across all of its 7000 clubs internationally. As long as you meet this simple criteria and would be keen to get involved in funraising and volunteering, then yes, you can likely get involved! What could I be involved in as a Rotaract member? Rotaract activities can be very varied, as they are organised by the club's members.

What is expected from a member of Woking Rotaract? The club is run by its members, and has over the last 30 years had many generations pass through its ranks. To achieve this we must hold club meetings to support club business, our community projects, and our social calendar. Club members are expected to participate, and can optionally get involved in the yearly-elected club council as well. How is the best way to get started with Rotaract? The best way to get involved in Rotaract is by contacting us. We can then arrange to see you at an upcoming club meeting or event, and can look to assist with any hurdles for a first event such as parking and directions.
Where do members tend to live? Members live in Woking and the surrounding area, so this will include places around West Surrey and its borders, such as: Guildford, Addlestone, Chertsey, St Johns, Knaphill, Horsell, Byfleet, Cobham, Chobham, Leatherhead, West End Village, Farnham, Virginia Water, Egham, Staines and Lightwater. Fundraising and Volunteering! How much does membership cost? Membership to Woking Rotaract costs £30 per year.
