Interact at Rotary International
Have you heard of the Rotary International? It started in the USA in 1905, and now has millions 
of members all over the world. Its members are mostly business people who want to improve 
people’s lives, both in their local communities and abroad.
Young people can also get involved in Rotary International’s Interact programme. Interact is a 
club for young people aged 12–18. Each Interact club has different rules – some are only for boys, 
some only for girls, and some are mixed. Sometimes, the members only come from one school.
In Interact, members can participate in projects where they help people locally and in other 
countries. This helps to create international understanding and goodwill, and you can also make 
friends for life. Members learn the importance of respecting people from different cultures, 
taking individual responsibility, and working hard. 
There are now over 10,000 Interact clubs throughout the world, with nearly 200,000 members. If 
you’re interested, find out if there is a local Rotary Club in your town.
