Our Youth Clubs

We develop young leaders through our Youth Clubs -- The Interact and Rotaract Clubs of Makati Dasmariñas -- to help them become future community leaders. 

Through these clubs, young people learn how to organize and implement community service projects. In the process, they learn teamwork, leadership, and gain positive formative experiences.
