  4. Earlyact EarlyAct is District program, not a formal RI program. • EarlyAct is a school-wide service club for elementary students from ages 5 to 13. It is sponsored by one of the local Rotary clubs nearest to where the school is located.The mission and operation of EarlyAct are closely linked to the ideals of and provide the foundation and natural succession into Interact. EarlyAct provides young students the opportunity for gaining an increased awareness and knowledge of their community and the world.

Partner with local Rotaract clubs to host a party to share the fun of Rotaract with Rotarians, alumni, friends and family. Or, organize a networking night or resume-writing workshop to bring Rotaractors and Rotarians together to learn from each other. 3) Join leaders at the 2020 RI Convention: Rotaract Preconvention includes two full days of general sessions, workshops, discussions, and networking opportunities for all registrants.

Next Step Suggestions • Convene an island meeting of Club and School Advisors to share ideas and plan for possible training session organized by the students, joint projects, State Convention. • Collaboration: Interact to Rotaract to Rotary • Talk about Rotary causes • Vocational talks at Interact and Rotaract Clubs • Joint projects • Internships, Shadowing • Partner with organizations • Mentoring
