What is Interact? Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14-18.  Interact gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects.  Interactors develop their leadership skills and initiative while meeting new friends. The word Interact stands for “international action,” and today nearly 200,000 young people in more than 110 countries belong to some 8,700 clubs.

What does an Interact group do? An Interact club's service projects are designed to improve the quality of life at home and abroad.  These projects often address today's most critical issues such as violence, drug abused, AIDS, hunger, the environment, and illiteracy. Each Interact club is required to complete at least two major service projects annually, one to serve the community and another to promote international understanding.

How does Interact fit into the Rotary family? Rotary International is a worldwide service organization for leading business and professional men and women, with more than 1.2 million members in over 31,000 Rotary clubs, Interact clubs are self-supporting and self-governing but receive guidance from a sponsoring Rotary club. This sponsorship is a result of Rotary’s belief that young people, or New Generations, should take an active interest in community life and have the opportunity to develop leadership skills.

Building Relationships The Interact Program gives Rotarians the opportunity to mentor promising young men and women interested in serving their own communities as well as the global community.  Rotarians also act as resources for Interactors who are on the path toward becoming professionals and community leaders.
