How do I join?
Check with your school or contact a local Rotary club to find out if there’s an Interact club in your area. Contact the Interact club to find out how you can join its next meeting, service project, or community event.
Follow Interact on Facebook to see how Interact clubs are having fun through service.
Can I start an Interact club?
If your school or community doesn’t already have an Interact club, you can start one. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- A sponsor Rotary club to provide support and guidance
- An adviser from your school’s faculty or a sponsor Rotary club to assist and mentor you
- People ages 12-18 from your school or community who are interested in joining the club
- Leaders to organize your club, find other members, and plan successful projects
Everything you need to organize, certify, and manage your club is in the Interact Guide for Rotary Club Sponsors and Advisers.
Can my Rotary club sponsor an Interact club?
Empower young people in your community to take action, develop leadership skills, and gain a global perspective through Interact. Not only will Interact challenge them to reach their full potential, it will also energize and inspire your Rotary club while building connections in the community and around the world.
