What is Interact?

The Interact Club at North Plainfield High School is the youth-based service club of Rotary. Those of you familiar with the Kiwanis clubs may know of Key Club, the Kiwanis youth service club.

In fact, Key Club was very active at NPHS for many years, until the local Kiwanis Club folded. To help fill the void created by the demise of the local Kiwanis, our club stepped in and introduced Interact to the administration and students at NPHS.

Our first Interact Club advisor was Amy Six, who helped organize the Interactors and got them involved in local service projects. Following Amy, our current advisor is Alexandra Pereira, who is on her second year with Interact.

The Interact Club not only initiates and carries out its own service projects, but it also helps the Rotary Club with some of our work. For example, the students come out to help at the concession stand at Rutgers' basketball games (see post below), help us with our annual Track and Field Meet for middle school students, and many other activities.

In a future post, we'll share the Interact Club's report on activities for the last school year.
