 | | Interact celebrates 60th birthday in Melbourne, Australia! | The House of Friendship had a special exhibit at the 2023 International Convention: Interact's 60th anniversary booth! Interact participants and alumni, alongside Rotary members and friends of Rotary, visited the Interact60 booth to share their stories, hear from Rotary's youth participants, and eat a birthday cupcake!
International Convention '23 has come to a close, but the celebration is not over! Participate in this momentous anniversary by visiting the Interact60 campaign site. You can reflect on Interact's history, celebrate its present, and look toward the future. Be sure to share your own Interact story, too! | |

| | Growing youth voice: inspiration from convention | At the 2023 International Convention in Melbourne, Australia, young leaders from the Interact and Youth Advisory Councils presented "The Future is Now: Growing Youth Voices" to a full breakout session audience! In this session, councilmembers and RI Director Vicki Puliz discussed how youth can have a larger impact across Rotary clubs, districts, and zones and why youth participation matters. While the breakout wasn't recorded, you can watch this recent webinar on the same topic: Expanding Reach: Partner with Youth in Service.
