What is Interact:

Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 14-18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but Interact clubs are self-governing and self-supporting.

Club membership varies greatly. Clubs can be single-gender or mixed, as well as large and small. The membership base 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 two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through projects, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs. And, in the process, Interactors develop leadership skills and learn the value of hard work.

INTER:International Understanding
A:Aim at service
C:Communication
T:Training of leadership
　

What we do:

As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 8,600 Interact clubs in some 110 countries and geographical areas, Interact has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Interactors also often spearhead the formation of Rotaract clubs and participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA). Interactors also often go on to become Youth Exchange students or Ambassadorial Scholars .

For more information about Interact in your area, contact your local Rotary club or your district Interact chair.
　

So, Joint Interact Council is?

When there are five or more Interact Clubs in the district, a district Interact organization may be formed. Therefore, the Joint Interact Council is the district Interact organization that coordinates and supervises the work and services of Interact Clubs in the district. It serves as a bridge among the Interact Clubs and the Rotary Clubs. It as well organizes activities for Interactors of the whole district.
Today more than 150,000 young people in about 100 countries belong to some 6.500 Interact Clubs. In Rotary International District 3450, there are more than 3,000 Interactors in 42 Interact Clubs formed in Hong Kong, Macau and Mongolia.
