Service Above Self
International ProjectEach year, ICSV organizes at least one international project where members travel abroad to conduct community service around the world. Since the formation of the club, we have travelled to Taiwan, Szechuan, and Africa.
Classes
Perhaps what truly sets ICSV apart from other Interact clubs is our classes. It is our biggest fundraising project in the entire year. Club members organize and design their own curriculum to teach students. 100% of the tuition money goes towards charitable causes.
