What's Interact?

"International Understanding" which come from "I", "N", "T", "E", "R"; The alphabet "A" means "Aim at Service", "C" which means "Communication with others", and finally "Training of leadership" from the alphabet "T". These are the four aims of INTERACT. As a youth club sponsored by a Mother Rotary Club, Interact set a high goal on serving the community and training young leaders. In our District, 3450, there are totally 23 Interact Clubs, 1 from Macau and the others are all in HK, which are all on school-basis. They made up 2000 Interactors. The eldest Interact Club is the Interact Club of Saint Joseph's College, which was established in the year 1966. While the youngest Interact Club is the Interact Club of Ho Fung College, it was newly formed this year. Last year, there were only 21, this incidents that the no. of Interact Club is growing and it also means that Interact is reaching out to more and more people in our District. In a district with more than 5 Interact Clubs, a joint organization can be set up, in our district, it is called the Joint Interact Council. This year, the aim of the Joint Interact Council is "Be an Interactor, be Interactive". Each month, the JIC held a Joint Presidents Meeting, all the Presidents of the member schools will attend this meeting to discuss the latest event of Joint Interact Council and matter arises from their own Clubs.

There are altogether 9 committee in the JIC, one District Interact Representative (DIR), 2 Vice-president, 2 Secretaries, 2 Public-relations-officers, a treasurer and an International Understanding Director. And the advisor of the Joint Interact Council is the District Interact Committee Chairman (DICC). The Joint Interact Council serves as a bridge among all the 23 Interact Clubs in the district, and it help to improve the communication between Interact and Rotary as well as Rotaract.

Each Interact Club has usually one to two Presidents, and a group of executive committee is under the supervision of the President(s). The group size vary from 8 to 20 due to the different scale of their own Clubs and school policy. Each Club also has one to four teacher advisors; their job is to take care of running of the Club inside the school. The Interact Club President will have constant meetings with their Mother Club, that is their Sponsoring Rotary Club. This sponsoring Rotary Club consist of not less than five Rotarians, President need to work with their Rotary Advisors, who are in fact, their partners-in-service. No meeting of the Deemed official unless a member of the Interact committee of the sponsoring Rotary club is in attendance.
