Report your Interact Club Adviser Information to Rotary International
Interact club sponsors are required to report the name and contact information of an adult adviser to Rotary every year to maintain the active status of their Interact clubs. Even if the same adviser is continuing for next year, their role needs to be reported.
Reporting these roles allows them to receive important communications from RI. Use the Interact club adviser online reporting form with the Interact club sponsors in your district.

About Yvonne. My name is Yvonne M.Mohabir and I have the priveliged to be the District Interact Chair 2026-2027. My Rotary journey began when I was an active Rotaractor, serving as Club Director of International Service and later as Club Vice President. Those years ignited my passion for service, leadership, and empowering young people — values that continue to guide me today. In 2018, I proudly became a member of the Rotary Club of Paramaribo Residence Since then, I have had the privilege of serving as Club Youth Chair, where I have focused on creating opportunities for young people to grow as leaders and make a positive impact in their communities. Four years ago, I founded the Interact Club of Brick by Brick, providing young people with a platform to develop leadership skills, embrace service, and discover the joy of making a difference. At the district level, I have been a member of the District Interact Committee since 2021. After five rewarding years of serving on the committee, I am truly honored to now serve as the District Interact Chair this Rotary year. In addition, I have had the opportunity to serve on both the District RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) Committee and the District Girls Empowerment Committee, experiences that have strengthened my commitment to developing young leaders across our district.
