About Interact
Interact, short for "International Action," is the high school program of Rotary International. There are over 12,300 Interact clubs across the world, across 167 countries. We are centered around service, both in our community and across the world, but the Interact experience is much bigger. In fact, we are just as much into having fun as we are into service, and it's not uncommon for us to get together just for laser tag or root beer floats, either.
As an Interactor you might find yourself "trick-or-treating" for canned food on Halloween, painting kids' faces at Springfield Montessori's winter carnival, or dancing with the elderly at Sheldon Park. You might walk into your meeting and find everyone making cards for the elderly on Valentine's Day, or you might instead walk into a surprise pizza party. You might get all muddy planting trees, or you might find yourself covered in colored cornstarch after throwing color at Eugene Rotary's "Color Dash" 5K.
