Interact is an international organization of service and social clubs for young
people of secondary school age that fosters leadership and responsible
citizenship and promotes international understanding and peace.
The name was created by combining the words "international"
and "action." Interact clubs are sponsored by Rotary clubs as a program of
Rotary International.
Rotary clubs provide guidance and inspiration, but the
Interact clubs are self-governing and self-supporting. Clubs take a variety
of forms, both single-gender and mixed as well as large and small. The
membership base of a club can be drawn from the student body of a single
school or from two or more schools from the same community.
Each year, Interact clubs complete at least one
community service project and at least one project that furthers
international understanding and goodwill.
Interactors develop a worldwide network of
friendships through exchanges with local and overseas clubs. Along the way,
Interactors develop their leadership skills and initiative while meeting new
friends.
