Interact is Rotary International's service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by Rotary clubs. The Rotary Club of Richmond currently sponsors the Interact club of Cambie and McRoberts.
As early as the 1920s, individual Rotary clubs supported youth activities that encouraged young people to be good citizens. The Interact Club of Melbourne High School, Florida became the first Interact club on 5 November 1962. After 58 years, Interact has grown into 14,911 Interact Clubs with 342,953 Interactors spread across 146 countries.
For the past 11 years, Rotary International has been holding annual Interact Video Awards to inspire more Interactors to promote leadership skills and helps them make a difference in their communities.
