Interact
is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 14 to 18.
Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide
support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.
Club
membership varies greatly. Clubs can be single gender or mixed, large
or small. They can draw from the student body of a single school or
from two or more schools in the same community.
Each year,
Interact clubs complete at least two community service projects, one of
which furthers international understanding and goodwill. Through these
efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and
overseas clubs and learn the importance of
- Developing leadership skills and personal integrity
- Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
- Understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
- Advancing international understanding and goodwill
As
one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary
service, with more than 10,700 clubs in 109 countries and geographical
areas, Interact has become a worldwide phenomenon. Almost 200,000 young
people are involved in Interact. Today In Rotary International District 3220, there
are more than 2000 Interactors in approximately 80 Interact Clubs formed in Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna and Matale.
So, Join Interact Council/Interact District is?
When
there are five or more Interact Clubs in the District, a District
Interact Organization may be formed. Therefore, the Join 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 also organizes activities for Interactors of the whole district.
