Welcome to the Interact/Rotaract Page. The information below describes a portion of the mandate and activities of the Youth Services Committee.

Youth Services Committee
Interact/Rotaract Club Mandate

The Youth Services Committee shall Seek to develop and support an Interact and Rotaract club in the Windsor area.

Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people age 14-18. Interact Clubs can either be school or community based and are required to carry out at least two service projects annually, one that serves their school or community and another that furthers international understanding. Although each club is sponsored by a local Rotary club whose members offer guidance, Interact clubs are responsible for planning, financing, organizing, and executing their own projects.

Rotaract is an international organization of service clubs for men and women aged 18-30 that fosters leadership and responsible citizenship, encourages high ethical standards in business and promotes international understanding and peace.
It enables members to meet people, try new activities, and make a difference in their local community.
Rotaract Clubs work under the guidance of their local Rotary Club, and take their name from a combination of the words Rotary and action.
The first officially chartered Rotaract Club was in North Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1968, but clubs of young people associated in service with local Rotary Clubs had existed for several years in India and Europe.

Clubs draw members from the community or are organized as an extracurricular activity for college students. Rotaract Clubs conduct formal meetings, usually every two weeks, which feature speakers, tours of local businesses, cultural activities, discussions, and visits to other clubs. Rotaractors utilize weekends for service project work, social events, and professional and leadership development workshops. Every Rotaract Club is part of a district Rotaract organization, run by elected representatives with support from sponsoring Rotarians.
