Interact Club

Do you love to help those in need? If the answer is ‘yes’, then Yishun Innova Junior College’s Interact Club is the CCA for you. We are looking for team players who are patient, committed and have the heart to help others. Interact Club’s motto is ‘service above self’. We plan and organise volunteer work so that we can give back to the community. These typically include activities with different groups of people like the elderly and the children. These activities serve the community, but they also make us more empathetic towards people from different walks of life.

Interact Club conducts two CCA sessions a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. During CCA sessions, our members would discuss and plan the various Values-In-Action (VIA) projects in smaller groups or propose and initiate any new VIA projects to meet the needs of the target community. These varied opportunities allow our members to develop their leadership and interpersonal skills and forge stronger friendships. We also organise games sessions for our members to help them build camaraderie.

Some of our CCA highlights include:

Dining in the Dark – Our College collaborates with the Singapore Association for the Visually Handicapped to organise this fundraising event. Participants will consume a meal in utter darkness, allowing them to relate with the hardships the visually impaired deal with when carrying out their daily activities.
Pasar Pagi – This programme allows members to coordinate and plan simple but engaging activities and make long lasting memories with the elderly from Sri Narayana Mission Home. Pasar Pagi also allows Interact members to better understand and appreciate the older generation.
ND imPact – We conduct an annual National Day themed programme for the children from Campus Impact and Life Student Care (Yishun) to let them learn more about Singapore’s rich heritage and culture through fun and meaningful activities and inculcate a sense of belonging to Singapore.
Partnership with different organisations – Our partnership with the Rotary Club and the Rotaract Club of Singapore East provide other opportunities for us to serve the wider community which include the elderly, the less privileged children, and the intellectually disabled
