Interact Social

Each year we aim to support our Interact friends. We have organised a bowling night and latitude night for the Interactors. At these events we had a good turn out of Interact members from the clubs in the area. Theses socials were a great way to have some fun but also meet and network with these young change makers.

​We have also attended many Interact club fundraisers and events such as the joint 9790 Interact Club fundraiser. 

Big Group Hug

Jayne from Big Group Hug joined us for an interactive session about opportunities to work with this organisation. BGH is a volunteer run organisation based in Bundoora and provides material aid to vulnerable families in the North (however are not limited to this area and help families all over Melbourne).  We have made a monetary donation to them to support the work they do and some items. We are looking forward to working with them more. 

Christmas projects

Each year we try to help our community by taking on a Christmas project. In 2020 we asked each of our members to do some Random Acts of Festivity.

DVLC recognise that most of their young people are in the process of healing from some kind of trauma, and their role is to support this healing journey. Their teachers are experienced in trauma informed education and focus on the strengths that each person brings to the table.
