Rotary International has created for young people two organisations dedicated to service and international understanding.  Though closely associated with Rotary, their clubs are independent and self-governing.

Interact, a combination of the words “International” and “Action”, is for young people between 14 and 18.  Rotaract, a contraction of “Rotary” and “Action”, is for men and women between 18 and 30.

These clubs serve the community.  Through fellowship they run a range of local, national and international service projects with the energy and enthusiasm of youth.
