¡@¡@¡@¡@Interact is a service and social club for secondary school students, ages 14-18, sponsored by Rotary Clubs. Interact was launched by the Rotary International Board of Directors on 28 October 1962. The first Interact Club was established by the Rotary Club of Melbourne, Florida, USA and the movement soon spread to many other parts of the world. Today more than 150,000 young people in about 100 countries belong to some 6.500 Interact Clubs, each sponsored by a Rotary Club. While the Rotary Club provides guidance and inspiration, the youth clubs are self-governing and self-supporting, giving members a chance to develop a range of leadership skills while learning the value of teamwork.

¡@¡@¡@¡@A major goal of Interact is to provide opportunities for young people to create greater understanding and goodwill with youth throughout the world. Through services, international understanding projects and training programmes, Interactors often learn the importance of service and helping those in need. Their leadership is by the way developed. Interact can also train young people to be all-rounded. In addition, Interactors often form a service partnership with the sponsoring Rotarians, lending their enthusiastic support to a variety of Rotary projects. Not only can Interact provide a wide horizon for Interactors, through different projects, they can foster friendship with Rotarians, as well as contribute to society. Through these projects, Interactors "gain" Rotarians as good advisors, as well as the essential leadership that they need in the future. ¡@ |
