Student leaders from the Oak Forest High School Interact Club recently demonstrated the power of service while helping preserve an important piece of Rotary history.

In May, the students joined Rotary members from District 6450 at the historic Paul Harris Home in Chicago. Harris, who lived in the home with his wife, Jean, was the founder of Rotary International.

Oak Forest students and Rotarians worked side by side on the preservation project, highlighting the impact of intergenerational service. The experience also gave students an opportunity to play a meaningful role in Rotary’s continued commitment to serving communities locally and around the world.

Rotary International filmed the project to document the restoration of the Paul Harris Home and the volunteers supporting the effort. The completed video debuted at the Rotary International Convention in Taipei, Taiwan, in June. It is now being shared with Rotarians around the world and is available with subtitles in multiple languages.

The video features Oak Forest High School Interact leaders representing their school, community and the spirit of service on an international stage.
