So what are some benefits of being an Interact member? Tons! Interact members get an honors cord at graduation (with 2 years of membership), Interact looks great on college applications, Interact members are recognized with a certificate of membership in the LZ Interact club, may attend the Interact breakfast at the end of the year, make new friends (all over Illinois if you go to leadership conference), make connections with influencial people in the community, and most importantly, that warm fuzzy feeling of feeling of doing something good.
