Promoting Interact

Public relations is an important aspect of Interact club service. This work helps promote relationships among your club, your sponsor Rotary club, and the community. Though the practice of public relations varies among cultures, every club has outside audiences with whom it must communicate.

Interact public relations can be directed at your sponsor club, the business community, local government officials, civic leaders, other organizations, and people directly affected by your club’s service initiatives.

For more information about public relations, visit the Informing the Community section.

World Interact Week

World Interact Week is celebrated every year during the week of 5 November to commemorate the founding of the first Interact club in 1962.

To mark this occasion with Interactors and Rotarians around the world, Interact clubs, in partnership with their sponsor Rotary clubs, are encouraged to participate in joint projects during World Interact Week.

Please refer to the recognition form (PDF) for more details, and consider these ideas for celebrating:

The Interact Club of Mengo Senior Secondary School, Uganda, donated time and much-needed materials to a local orphanage. Their contribution included pens and other school supplies to aid primary school students in preparation for math exams.

The Interact Club of Cali Pance, Colombia, organized an AIDS awareness march. Interactors marched through neighborhoods, shopping centers, and other venues to educate their community on the importance of AIDS prevention.

The Interact Club of St. Petersburg Neva, Russia, contributed a monthly article about Interact to a local teen newspaper to show that Interactors are dedicated to bettering their community.
