Interact?
Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self.Interact clubs organise at least two projects every year, one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. Rotary club sponsors mentor and guide Interactors as they carry out projects and develop leadership skills.
Find out here how serious leadership can be seriously fun.
