West Campus Interact

The Interact Club at West Campus High School works together with the Rotary Club of Point West-Sacramento. We strive to improve local and international communities through service, resource provisions, & inclusive access to education, as well as promote hospitality in the school-environment. Through Interact, members develop leadership skills, build friendships, and prioritize selflessness. Interact Club is currently one of the biggest service-clubs at West Campus with a growing 130 members!
