It appears that a few of the clubs in the District have lost their Interact Club during the pandemic. This is a troubling trend that we hope to stop and reverse directions with over the next school year.What is Interact? Interact is Rotary Club for students between the ages of 12 and 18 (middle and high school age). They can be school or community based. Interact Clubs must be sponsored by a District club and must complete at a minimum two projects per year. Believe it or not there are 14,911 Clubs in over 145 countries with over 342,900 young people involved.

Students who join Interact can demonstrate citizenship and to make a difference in their community. They can gain leadership, project management and teamwork skills. Further they can learn vocational skills……all of which help them to progress to a job or continue with their higher education. They can be exposed to global issues and help to address a need in another country. Finally, they can make new friends and have fun!
How do you start an Interact club? It takes a little up-front work on behalf of the club but the benefits once started, are plentiful. Drop me, Mark Vital an email and we can work on a start-up strategy together. My email is marlboroughrotaryleadership@gmail.com
