 | Interact is an international
organization of service and social clubs for young people of secondary school age that fosters leadership and responsible
citizenship and promotes international understanding and peace. Rotary clubs provide guidance and inspiration, but the Interact
clubs are self-governing and self-supporting. Clubs take a variety of forms, both single-gender and mixed as well as large
and small. The membership base of a club can be drawn from the student body of a single school or from two or more schools
from the same community.

 | The Rotary Community Corps
(RCC) program provides non-Rotarians possessing strong leadership potential with the organizational tools and technical assistance
required to carry out local community development projects. Rotary club sponsorship and encouragement enable Rotary Community
Corps members to provide valuable services to their communities while strengthening their own leadership skills and talents.
The purpose of the Rotary Community Corps program is to promote grass-roots, self-help projects; develop local leadership
abilities; maximize local resources; and use appropriate cost-efficient technology.

 | Every year approximately 7,000 students ages 15 to 19 go abroad under the auspices
of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, either for the academic year or an extended period of time. Each year, local Rotary
districts and clubs worldwide arrange thousands of international Youth Exchanges for high school-aged students. A primary
goal of the program is to foster world understanding by way of intercultural exchange.

 | In 1985, Rotary International launched PolioPlus, a 20-year commitment
to eradicate polio. PolioPlus is one of the most ambitious humanitarian undertakings ever made by a private entity. It will
serve as a paradigm for private-public collaborations in the fight against disease well into the 21st century. |
