RYLA 2023
Interact is a service club sponsored by Rotary that provides young people with the chance to meet new people, gain leadership experience, and take part in enjoyable and meaningful service projects. Helping others is the fundamental tenet of the Rotary Interact. "Service above self" serves as the motto.
