District 3310 comprises of Brunei, Singapore and parts of Malaysia (Johor, Malacca, Sarawak, Labuan FT and Sabah).The District is rich in cultural diversity with people from many racial groups (including Malays, Chinese, Indians and indigenous groups and tribes) living harmoniously together. The District is also diversified in terms of economic activities and tourism appeal.

What is Rotaract?
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary.As one of Rotary’s most significant and fastest-growing service programs, with more than 8,400 clubs in about 170 countries and geographical areas, Rotaract has become a worldwide phenomenon.
How does it work?
All Rotaract efforts begin at the local, grassroots level, with members addressing their communities’ physical and social needs while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
What are some other opportunities available to Rotaractors?
Rotaractors may also:-
1. Work together with Interact clubs or mentor Interactors
2. Participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
3. Become Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholars or Group Study Exchange team members
4.Seek membership in their local Rotary club after their Rotaract membership ends.
