C.D.C.I. WEST Interact Club Description:  

Interact is a service club for high school students sponsored by Rotary International .  This unique club allows our students to develop leadership skills and increase social awareness while organizing and participating in fun and meaningful humanitarian service projects.  Interact clubs must perform at least two projects each year, one which serves the local community and another which furthers international understanding. Through their involvement, Interact Club members learn the importance of: 

 developing personal integrity and initiative
demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others
·understanding the value of individual responsibility and hard work
advancing international understanding and good will
realizing that they have the power to make a difference in their world
