Some Useful Information:

Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14-18. The program gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends.

Through service activities, Interactors learn the importance of:

...Developing leadership skills and personal integrity;

...Demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others; and

...Advancing international understanding and goodwill.

This year, Oak Bay High Interact Club will hopefully complete at least two community service projects, one of which furthers international understanding and goodwill.

There's also Adventures in Citizenship (April 26-30, 2008 Download brochure) and Adventures in Music (Register) - both fabulous opportunities for youth.

Did you know? As one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service, with more than 8,600 Interact clubs in some 110 countries and geographical areas, Interact is indeed a worldwide phenomenon.

The 2005-06 OAK BAY INTERACT CLUB presidents (Leyland and Emma) and their T-Shirt Campaign to help alleviate HIV/AIDS in Africa made the International ROTARIAN MAGAZINE! Ask at the school office to see the copy of the Rotarian Magazine. The article (with photo) is on page 47.
