What is Interact?
Interact is one of the many clubs that you can join at Lake Zurich High School. We're over 120 members strong and our numbers grow every year. Interact members volunteer in our school, community and in the world. As an Interact member, you'll have the opportunity to volunteer at local soup kitchens, package food and supplies for 3rd world countries, go to an all-expense-paid four day leadership conference, and a whole lot more! Interact's goal is to make our school, community, and world a better place to live in. Interact meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month at 7:20 a.m. in the small auditorium.
