The Interact Clubs of St. Joseph’s Academy and Christ the King High School brought energy, creativity, and plenty of heart to this year’s World Interact Week, celebrated from November 3–9, 2025.
With the theme of service and fellowship at the forefront, both clubs filled the week with activities that highlighted the spirit of Rotary and the power of young people working together for good.
Interact is a Rotary-sponsored club for students ages 12 to 18 who want to make a difference in their schools and communities. It’s where leadership meets service, and fun. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Antigua, both Interact Clubs have become shining examples of what youth-led action looks like.
The week kicked off on Monday with a Social Media Campaign that encouraged members to share what Interact means to them. Their heartfelt posts flooded timelines and spread positive messages about leadership, friendship, and giving back.
On Tuesday, the Interactors took on a health challenge by producing a 30-second public service announcement on Diabetes Awareness, combining creativity with advocacy to educate their peers.
By Wednesday, it was all about fellowship. The Interact executives joined their sponsor club, the Rotary Club of Antigua, at its weekly lunch meeting at Rotary House. They proudly introduced themselves and shared their upcoming plans, earning nods of approval and encouragement from Rotarians.
On Friday, both clubs came together for a joint act of kindness, donating a lunch bench to the Five Islands Primary School. Principal James welcomed the thoughtful gift and shared his hope for even more benches in the future.
That same day, the Christ the King High School Interact Club held its annual fundraising bake sale, raising funds to help Rotary’s global mission to end polio forever. The St. Joseph’s Academy Interact Club will host its own bake sale on Monday, November 10th, because who doesn’t love service that tastes sweet?
Saturday was a hands-on day of giving back. The St. Joseph’s Academy Interactors rolled up their sleeves to deep-clean their Science Lab, while the Christ the King High School Club spent their morning creating handmade flowers and appreciation cards for the staff of the Tabitha Elder Care Home, a touching gesture that brightened the day of everyone involved.
The week wrapped up on Sunday with a joint social at Rotary House, where both clubs celebrated their achievements with laughter, games, food, and fellowship, the perfect ending to a week full of purpose and positivity.
Celebrating Service Above Self
President of the Rotary Club of Antigua, Elisa Graham, praised the Interactors for their dedication and enthusiasm, saying, “These young leaders continue to inspire us all. They’ve shown that service can be joyful, impactful, and contagious.”
From spreading awareness to spreading smiles, the Interactors of St. Joseph’s Academy and Christ the King High School proved that when young people unite for service, amazing things happen.
