The Conifer High School Interact report:
Alyssa, the club President, told us what Interact means to her. She is inspired by the previous “generation” of Interactors at Conifer High School, especially their work trip to Nepal. As she moved into her senior year, she wanted students to have a meaningful experience with community service.
The Conifer High School Interact Club currently has 40 members who are all dedicated to the club's support projects. On the International front, 14 Interact students plan to travel to Kenya June 4-19, 2018 to construct a playground for disabled children at the organization developed by Rotarian Carol Carper, Sasa Harambee. Locally, their projects include: Carnival for the Children’s Hospital; Conifer Christmas Parade; Colorado Trail project; Polio awareness at Conifer High School; Hurricane relief—funds to provide a shelter box.
The Interact Club recently created a video about their club, and they have their own website. Check them out at https://coniferinteract.weebly.com.
