A graduate of Canyon Crest Academy in San Diego, Ava Balfour now attends the University of Denver in Colorado. Outside of her studies, Ava Balfour finds time to support several nonprofit groups, including Rotary International.
In its efforts to develop the next generation of leaders, Rotary International operates several programs for younger people under the age of 30. Alongside its Interact Clubs, Rotary Youth Exchange, and New Generations Service Exchange, the organization oversees Rotaract Clubs, which give people ages 18-30 the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop leadership skills while giving back through service activities.
Each Rotaract Club is organized and managed by its members with support from Rotary International. The first club was formed in 1968, and today there are nearly 11,000 clubs with over 250,000 members worldwide.
Some recent Rotaract activities include providing school supplies, medical screenings, and prevention education to 1,000 villagers in Uganda. In the United States, Rotaractors supported more than a dozen community groups along the West Coast. And in Turkey and Russia, several clubs collaborated to provide training activities for people with Down syndrome. Additional work is currently ongoing among clubs in 184 countries.
