Congratulations! As the sponsor of an Interact club, you and your Rotary club should feel proud of completing a year of service, leadership development, fellowship and fun during a global pandemic. Rotary International thanks you for your service to your Interact club and its members. You, your Interactors, and countless other Interact club advisers, mentors, and sponsors have demonstrated resiliency, flexibility, and the ability to innovate in the face of adversity. Let’s keep that momentum going as we move to a new Rotary year. Below you will find updates from Rotary International on important administrative reminders and upcoming opportunities for your Interact club.
 
Take Administrative Action
Report an adviser - Interact club sponsors are required to report the name and contact information of an adult adviser to Rotary every year to maintain the active status of their Interact clubs. Even if the same adviser is continuing for next year, their role needs to be reported by 1 July. Reporting these roles allows them to receive important communications from RI. Use the Interact club adviser online reporting form with the Interact club sponsors in your district.
 
 
NEW! Online Service-Learning Courses 
Are you looking for activities for your Interact club to do online? These resources are for you. Rotary’s new service-learning online resources, developed in partnership with NYLC, are designed to empower youth. Service-learning is a proven method of activating young people to address the root cause of community issues and hone their leadership skills, inspiring them to make lasting change and setting them on a path for a lifetime of service. Visit Rotary’s Learning Center to access these new research-based, outcome-driven, and interactive resources for youth participants and adult advisers. Youth participants ages 16 and older can access these resources by creating a My Rotary account.
