Brief description of CCA activities and prerequisite(s), if any:
Interact Club in Victoria Junior College holds the motto "Service Above Self" and allows students to develop holistic skills through service. Student members (also called Interactors) will get to participate in meaningful activities with various beneficiaries and also hone their leadership skills as they plan ad hoc events for the school population and for the wider community.
VJC Interact Club has 6 Interact Home Groups that partner different beneficiaries to serve different groups of individuals. Each Interactor will be assigned to a Home Group and carry out regular weekly sessions throughout their term. In addition, the Interactors participate in various ad hoc community service projects, where they will get the opportunity to engage various beneficiaries in the community, deepen their empathy for others and sharpen their organisational and communication skills.
Interactors need to have the empathy to understand the needs of the community and the heart and time to serve.
