| Interact through the years | Since 1962, generations of young people have discovered the power of Service Above Self through Interact, all while having fun along the way. The first Interact Club was certified on 5 November 1962 at Melbourne High School, in Florida, USA. A year later, Interact numbered 177 clubs in 24 countries. Today, there are approximately 14,900 clubs in 145 countries. The current generation of Interactors channel their enthusiasm and ideas into projects with remarkable impact. As Rotary celebrates Youth Service Month in May, read about the past, present, and future of this dynamic leadership and service program for teens. | |
