Youth programs

Building future leaders through service

Interact, scholarships and district youth opportunities.


St. Clairsville High School Interact Club

Interact is Rotary’s student service and leadership program. Students plan and run their own service projects, work as a team, and make a visible difference in their school and community alongside Rotary mentors and local leaders. It is one of the clearest ways the club invests in the next generation of St. Clairsville leadership.

  • Student-led service projects
  • Leadership development and Rotary mentorship
  • Pathways to district youth opportunities

Students in service

Club service records from 2022 through 2024 show how Interact connected students with neighbors, local schools and community spaces.

2022, 2023 & 2024

Care at Park Health

Valentine treats for Park Health were documented in each of these three years. The 2022 service report also recorded Easter activities for Park Health.

Hands-on help at Memorial Park

The 2022 service report recorded site preparation at Memorial Park, adding practical outdoor work to the students’ community service.

These are documented examples of past projects, not an annual activity schedule. Ask the club about current Interact opportunities.

District 6690 youth opportunities

Beyond our own programs, Rotary District 6690 promotes youth opportunities that local students can pursue — including Interact and the Four-Way Test Speech Contest. These are district programs; contact the club to ask about local participation in any given year.

Youth activities follow Rotary’s youth protection expectations. Contact the club with policy questions or for youth-program information.
