Empowering Young Leaders in Lisbon
Rotaract Club of Lisbon is a dynamic community of young adults who are passionate about creating meaningful change in their local and global communities.
We are part of the global Rotaract movement, supported by Rotary International — one of the world’s largest and most respected service organizations, with over 1.4 million members in more than 200 countries.
Who We Are
Our club is proudly sponsored by the Rotary Club of Lisbon, the oldest Rotary club in Portugal, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in January 2026. This historical connection grounds us in a legacy of service, leadership, and community impact that spans nearly a century.
We are a diverse group of Portuguese and international members — including students, young professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs — united by the desire to grow, lead, and serve with purpose.
Why Join Us?
Rotaract is more than volunteering — it’s a platform for personal and professional development. Through our activities, members gain key soft skills, including:
Public speaking and communication
Leadership and teamwork
Emotional intelligence
Cross-cultural awareness
Project and event management
Conflict resolution and creative problem-solving
With regular meetings, meaningful service, and global connections, you’ll grow in confidence, purpose, and leadership.
An International Community in Lisbon
Our members represent more than 10 nationalities — a reflection of Lisbon’s vibrant, global character. Whether you’re a local looking for impact or an expat seeking connection and purpose, you’ll find a home with us.
We also maintain strong ties with Rotaract clubs around the world, especially in Brazil, Congo, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, and Bahrain. These international friendships lead to joint projects, cultural exchanges, and lasting connections beyond borders.
At Rotaract Lisbon, friendships are global, and every project is an opportunity to learn, serve, and grow — together.
