An Interact Club was founded at the start of March in Cowbridge Comprehensive School. Interact is short for International Action and it’s goals are to provide service to our community and to foster international understanding among students and the world community. Interact was founded in the November of 1962 at Melbourne High School in Florida, U.S.A. The first Interact outside of the U.S. was founded two months later in Tanjore, India. Today there are more than 100,000 Interactors in more than 4,500 Interact clubs in 86 countries around the world!

Each club is sponsored by a nearby Rotary Club (We are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Cowbridge - District 1150). Interact Clubs can be found on secondary and high school campuses all over the world. Membership is open to anyone interested, and we encourage everyone to join.

Each year we are required to carry out at least one community service project and one project to further international understanding. We are currently developing our programmes for next year. If you would like to join us then please contact either Fred White or Elspeth Bisson. It is also supported by Lizz Shaw (Community Focused Schools) and the Cowbridge Rotary club.
