The YAIL Conference is sponsored by District 5050 each year. Last year, due to Covid restrictions was held on Zoom. YAIL stands for Youth Adventures in Leadership, is open to participants ages 15-17 and is held annually at Alexandra Neighborhood House in Surrey, BC, Canada.
Interact is a service club for youth ages 14-18. The name is a combination of the words international and action. We join Clubs in over 120 countries around the world. The global youth network is dedicated to community and international service. Every Interact Club project, great or small, has a lasting impact on society worldwide.
