If you are attending or will attend Mark Keppel High School, be sure to visit the Interact Club table during "club rush" to sign up and learn more. Club rush occurs during lunch for the whole first week of September, but Interact will only be there on one of those days. In case you missed this, sign up through Google Forms here: http://goo.gl/forms/t8hhkCSOn6Qdtv8j1

Is it too late to join Interact?
You can join Interact Club anytime even if you missed club rush, but joining towards the end of a semester should be cautioned because gaining an active status may become more difficult.

What's the Difference between Interact, Leo, and Key Club?
Interact Club is the youth branch of Rotary International Club formed in 1905 in Illinois. We focus on quality service and citizenship within communities to promote local awareness. However, each club is also committed to at least one international and one local project, every year.
Leo is the youth branch of Lions Club International formed in 1917 in Chicago with a focus in humanitarian and economic aid.
Key Club is the youth branch of Kiwanis International Club formed in 1915 in Indianapolis with focus in educating, feeding, and sheltering children living in third-world poverty.
What sets interact apart from leo and key?
Free membership! (Key Club charges $14)
Rotary Sponsored
We have a Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) leadership program and a youth exchange program that sends students on an all-expense-paid camp where they make life-long connections and friends with fellow Interactors and speakers.
Focuses on local AND international projects
Every new year, each Interact club commits to at least one international project (see "International Projects" tab) and one local project (garden for Reppeto School built in 2016)
