On the 6th of October 2016, the Rotaract Club Genève International was officially charted by Rotary International. President and founder Kazushige Kobayashi, Graduate Institute student, benefitted from Juliana Knoll-Negri's guidance as a Rotaract Advisor. The Club was sponsored by the Rotary Club Genève International under the Presidence of Walter Gyger.
Since April 2016, Rotarians of the Rotary Club Geneve International and our current President Kazushige Kobayashi have jointly sought to create an English speaking Rotaract club in International Geneva. Various project meetings and consultation sessions with other Rotary/Rotaract clubs were held during April – July 2016. The Club was launched in November 2016 with enthusiastic support from the District as well as other Rotary Clubs in Switzerland and beyond.
