Interact
Interact clubs welcome students ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while learning about Service Above Self.
As of 2026, there are more than 14,900 Interact clubs with 343,000 Interactors across 145 countries.
Interact clubs typically organize at least two projects every year. Ideally, one service project helps their school or community, and the other promotes international understanding, but clubs have a lot of freedom to create the projects that work best for them! Each Interact club has a sponsoring Rotary club that is local to the area, as well as a faculty advisor in their school. Sponsors and advisors guide and mentor Interact club students to help them complete their projects, serve their communities, and build leadership skills.
Some of the ways you can celebrate Interact’s global impact with your club:
- World Interact Week
- Interact Video Awards
- Rotary Youth Day at the United Nations
- Global Youth Service Day
