Rotaract is an international youth movement for young adults aged
18 to 30. This non-political and secular organisation operates under
the umbrella of Rotary International. It provides an opportunity to
young adults to enhance their knowledge and skills that will assist
them in personal development, address the physical and social needs
of their communities and promote better relations between all people
worldwide through a framework of friendship and service.
Advance Tertiary College (ATC)'s own chapter of Rotaract Club was formed through the initiatives of several likeminded students in the college who are committed to serving the community and also developing themselves professionally, while expanding their network of friends. The club received its charter on 20th October 2007 from the Rotary International Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois and is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ampang. The club has adopted a foster home for abused and neglected children called Chrestus Home in Taman Cuepecs, Cheras as our Community Service project. This has become a flagship project for our club, where we have agreed to establish a long-term partnership with the Home in helping out the children. We consistently visited the Home and provide them with daily necessities, improving the conditions of the Home and spending quality time with the children to assist them in their emotional growth. In the near future, we plan to organise special classes and tuitions for them to help them in their studies. We have also organised an attachment programme for the college students in two esteemed legal firm, Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill and Bodipalar Ponnudurai Nathan as our Professional Development project. The purpose of this programme is to provide students with better understanding of the legal field and also to give them early exposure to the mechanisms involved in the legal community, while equipping them with personal and professional development skills. Only in its first few months of operation, the club has already garnered glowing praises from many people. We have obtained the District Rotaract Representative Citation, which is a highly prized recognition for any Rotaract Clubs in the District. In addition, we have also fulfilled the Rotary International Presidential Citation which is highly respectable in the Rotary Community. Hence, although the club is still in its infancy, one can clearly see that it has a lot potential for growth and it is indeed serving its purpose in the community.
