Interact Club is a designed for young people ages 14 to 18. Interact is sponsored by individual Rotary Clubs, but essentially Interact is a self-governing and self-sustaining association. All Interact clubs carry out at two projects every year- one that contributes to the local community and another that furthers international understanding and goodwill.
One essential feature of interact is the collaboration between its members and the sponsoring Rotary Club. Interactors develop effective leadership skills and an appreciation for the value of individual responsibility while forming long-lasting friendships. Likewise, Rotary club gains a service partner and supporting the development of future community leaders.
