Souhegan Valley Interact Club @ Milford, Souhegan and Wilton-Lyndeborough High Schools

Milford Rotary sponsored and continues to nurture the Interact Club established at our local high schools. Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting. Club members work closely with the students and facility advisors from each high school.


EarlyAct @ Amherst Middle Schools

EarlyAct is an innovative program designed for the elementary and middle school students ages 9 to 13. The Souhegan EarlyAct Club, the first of its kind in our district, started in Amherst in the fall of 2012 with the intention of eventually engaging other Souhegan Valley schools. The mission of EarlyAct is to promote goodwill, understanding and peace through the active participation of its student members so that with committed citizenship and effective leadership they may improve the quality of life of their school, local and global communities.

Youth Exchange Programs

Long Term Student Exchange Program - These student exchanges usually last one year, during which participants attend school and live with families in the host country. To gain a greater understanding of the culture, students live with at least two, preferably three, host families during the yearlong stay. To ensure safety for all participants, the host Rotary club conscientiously screens and selects all host families. In 2011-2012, the Milford Rotary Club hosted a young lady from Slovakia and sent a student to the Philippines. For more information, click HERE to view the brochure.

Short Term Student Exchange Program - A family to family vacation~homestay cultural exchange for high school students. A Rotary Short Term Exchange presents opportunities for applicants to advance their knowledge and world understanding by allowing them to exchange in a different country. Participants will live with host families in their selected land usually for three to six weeks in the summer, and host their new partner at home, under the sponsorship of their local Rotary Club.
