NCCC ROTARACTORS VOLUNTEER
The Niagara County Community College Rotaract Club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Niagara County Central Rotary. Bridget Beilein, NCCC Faculty, is the Advisor. Rotaract brings together adults ages 18-30 to take action in their communities, develop their leadership and professional skills, and have fun.
On March 1, 2016, the NCCC Rotaract Club volunteered at VIVE LA CASA in Buffalo, NY. The NCCC Students were given a tour and learned what VIVE LA CASA does for its refugees and the services they offer. Afterward the Rotaract Club members divided into three groups; opened the playroom where they supervised and practiced English with the children, sorted donations, and cleaned tables and chairs in their cafeteria.
Bridget recognized the need for Citizenship readiness. She said, “One of the NCCC Rotaract Club's next projects will be on the Sanborn campus. After polling many of the students about being registered to vote I realized there are not many registered and there is confusion as how to vote and where to vote. With the upcoming Presidential election in November, the NCCC Rotaract Club will hold voter registration for a week in April and a week in September. Rotaract is really excited to offer this to the NCCC students."
