Rotaract Club Moscow-EastPrivate club · since 2006
We are Rotaract Club Moscow-East, part of the global Rotary International network: 1.2 million members and 46,000 clubs in 200 countries. Real international projects, partnerships with clubs in Ireland, Germany, Turkey and China, and connections that last a lifetime.
Each year we welcome only a small number of new members, by personal introduction.
We are a community of young professionals aged 18 to 30, united by one thing: the will to do. Students of leading universities, entrepreneurs, and specialists at the start of a serious path.
Once a week we meet to launch projects, exchange experience, and support one another. Each of us stands by our reputation and our word. That is why we stay selective: the circle stays small and the trust within it runs deep.
Belonging here means joining an environment where everyone has a name, a cause, and people ready to stand with them.
We work alongside international organisations that set the standard for social and humanitarian work worldwide.
The umbrella organisation of the movement: membership, projects and club standards.
Consultative status at the UN ECOSOC
Joint campaign to eradicate polio

The first Rotary club was founded by attorney Paul Harris in Chicago in 1905, he wanted to bring together people of different professions to exchange ideas and do good. Today Rotary International is more than 1.2 million people in 46,000 clubs in almost every country on earth.
Rotaract began as a Rotary youth program in 1968 and became a distinct membership type in 2019. It's a movement for those aged 18 to 30, future leaders who are already changing their cities and stepping onto the international stage.
Our club belongs to District 2223 of Rotary International, dozens of Rotary and Rotaract clubs and direct access to the global community.
The principle every Rotarian lives by. Here leadership is measured by what you've done for others.
For over a century Rotary has united professionals who turn ideas into real action, from local projects to global campaigns.
From a single club in 1968 to a global movement of young leaders on every continent.
Rotaract is part of Rotary International. Since 2019, Rotaract clubs belong to Rotary International directly, and their members are officially Rotarians, on equal footing with members of Rotary clubs. Rotaract is simply Rotary's youth.
Attorney Paul Harris founds the world's first club of service in Chicago, bringing together people of different professions.
On 13 March the first Rotaract club is chartered, Rotary's youth program for people aged 18 to 30.
As the country opens up, the first Rotary and Rotaract clubs appear in the USSR and Russia, bringing with them the movement of service known worldwide today.
Rotaract Club Moscow-East is founded in Moscow, becoming part of this history and the global Rotary movement.
Rotaract clubs join Rotary International directly, and their members officially become Rotarians on equal footing with Rotary club members.
Behind every project there are real people. Here is just part of what we have done.
Together with Rotaract Dublin and Rotaract Turkey, we exchange parcels of national culture. This autumn we'll host our Irish guests in Moscow.
We support Daniil Khachaturov, a young blind singer with an extraordinary voice, in realising his musical projects nationally and worldwide.
The club gives back to those who invest in it. And it gives back what money cannot buy: an international community and the doors that Rotary's standing opens.
Documented hours of community service, a weighty line on a CV and in applications for study and grants.
Hands-on experience launching charitable, social, and entrepreneurial projects, from idea to result, alongside like-minded people.
For active members, the club provides a letter of recommendation for studying abroad or internships, signed by the club president.
Rotary holds high consultative status at the UN and runs projects together with WHO, UNICEF and UNESCO. Club membership and references can be a real advantage when applying for internships and jobs at these institutions.
A letter of recommendation from the club, and often membership in Rotary itself, gives an edge when applying to leading Western universities.
Rotary Peace Centers operate at leading universities worldwide. The club can nominate a candidate for a fully funded Rotary scholarship, at universities in England, the USA, Japan and Sweden.
We have cross-country committees linking Russia with the USA, Germany, Italy, China and other countries. Membership opens the door to attending committee meetings, running joint projects with Rotary and Rotaract clubs worldwide, and building professional ties at an international level.
Many Rotarians are owners or senior executives of major Russian companies across industries and cities. That gives club members a rare route in: an internship secured not through a stack of CVs, but through a personal recommendation inside a community that already trusts you.
There are different ways to get involved with Rotaract, depending on what you are looking for and how much you would like to commit.
We're upfront about both what membership gives you and what it asks of you. The club runs on everyone's involvement.
A personal introduction: a meeting or a recommendation from a current club member.
Attending a few of the club's open events as a guest.
Review of the candidacy and a vote by club members at a general meeting.
An induction ceremony and payment of the entrance fee under the club's rules.
Membership means regularly attending meetings, taking part in at least some of the year's projects, and paying annual dues. The club depends on everyone's contribution.
For the time and dues you invest, you get official Rotarian status, access to a network of over 46,000 clubs in 200 countries, letters of recommendation, and real experience with international projects. And a circle of people who stay friends for years.
Our projects run on people willing to share money, time, or expertise. Every bit of help matters.
Speak at one of our events, mentor someone, or help organise Culture Day, internships, or any other project. Write to us about how you'd like to help.
Write to us →We're grateful to everyone who supports us, in whatever form and however large. Every contribution becomes part of the shared cause.
We are part of Rotary International, District 2223

If you're already in Rotary and would like to reach the club, we'd be glad to talk directly, please write to the club's email and we'll gladly reply.
