In an effort to empower young people in our community to take action, become leaders, and develop a global perspective, our local Rotary Club of Johns Creek initiated the sponsorship of the Interact Club. Interact clubs are an extension of Rotary specifically designed for young people ages 12-18. There are 20,372 Interact clubs in 159 countries around the world. After much work, many meetings, and lots of planning on the part of sponsors, Rotary President Sue Kay and Niyomi Shah, officially founded Interact at Northview High School. The club was presented as an option to the student body in the Fall of 2018. The Northview Interact club brings together high school students to develop strong leadership skills while discovering the power of the Rotary motto, Service above Self.
