Getting an Interact Club started

Every Interact Club and every Rotary Club was started with one or two people who decided to "make it happen".

• You can download the Interact Brochure and print out copies to give to your friends and others you think may be interested.
• You can print out the Interact Handbook to familiarise yourself with how an Interact Club works.
• Find out which Rotary Club looks after your school and make contact with their Youth Director.
• Talk to the school Principal and let him / her know that there is interest within the school for starting a club.
• Arrange to talk to the students at assembly to raise awareness and announce a time for an Interest meeting.
• Try and arrange for a Rotarian to attend the Interest meeting.

Some of the key benefits of Interact include:

• Learning planning, leadership and organisational skills.
• Making new friends within your school
• Making new friends from other Interact Clubs.
• Making a difference in your community and in the world.

Remember, Interact is an "autonomous" club. That means, the members run the club themselves. It is not run by a teacher, or by Rotary. You get to choose your own projects and the sky is the limit!
