About Interact District 3220
Interact District 3220, part of the global Interact service movement, is dedicated to empowering youth in Sri Lanka to make a positive impact through community service, leadership, and cross-cultural understanding. Our journey began in 1964 with the chartering of the first Interact Club at St. John's College, Jaffna, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Jaffna. Following this pioneering effort, the Interact Club of Royal College was established on November 18, 1965, under the sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Colombo, Sri Lanka's first Rotary Club. Additionally, the first female Interact Club, the Interact Club of Muslim Ladies' College, was chartered on March 28, 1979.
Today, Interact District 3220 comprises over 10,000 vibrant young individuals across more than 110 clubs in various zones, including Colombo, Kandy, Jaffna, and Kurunegala. With over 60 years of Interact history, our district, guided by Rotary District 3220, is one of the most active Interact Districts globally, continually nurturing young leaders dedicated to community service and international understanding.
As a part of Rotary International, a global network of 1.4 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers, we share a commitment to creating lasting change. Our goals are in harmony with Rotary's mission to promote peace, combat disease, provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, save mothers and children, support education, boost local economies, and protect the environment.
Interact District 3220 is overseen by a dynamic group of young individuals in the Interact District Council. We invite you to join us in our mission to serve others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through fellowship and service. Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change in our communities and beyond.
