About Interact
Interact is a service club for youth ages 14-18. Clubs benefit from sponsorship by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance. Interact has a membership of over 250,000 youth in more than 11,000 clubs worldwide. It’s one of Rotary’s fastest growing programs. Interact clubs are self-governing and self supporting and can be either school or community based. Interact’s name is a combination of the words international and action. With clubs in over 120 countries and geographical areas, Interact is truly an international phenomenon. Interact’s global youth network is dedicated to community and international service. Every Interact club project, great or small, has a lasting impact on society worldwide.
Interactors also often spearhead the formation of Rotaract clubs and participate in Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA). Interactors also often go on to become Youth Exchange students or Ambassadorial Scholars.

This year’s District 7120 Interact Project is with DEAAF (Deaf Education & Arts for African Families), a not-for-profit organization committed to providing much needed schooling to deaf children in Monze, Zambia. Many African deaf children live a life of isolation, with no hopes of ever achieving such dreams of becoming doctors, lawyers, or teachers, to say nothing of receiving any kind of formal education. The Children of Monze walk to school barefoot, some two hours each way, to and from school. The founder of DEAAF, Lisa Zahra and her team plan to give these deaf children (ages 4-14) the chance at the education and literacy they deserve.
We are hoping to have all Interact Clubs in the district participate in some way. Below is the
