Three types of Rotary clubs can be established: community based clubs, school based clubs, and Interact clubs for students. Interact clubs are sponsored by Rotary clubs and give students opportunities for leadership and community service both locally and internationally. Starting a successful Interact club requires commitment from school staff as a coordinator, activities that benefit the community, and fundraising to be split between money raised by students and sponsorship by Rotary.
