Cardinals Interact is a partnership between Price Charities and Downtown San Diego Rotary Club to support a mentoring program for Hoover High School students grades ten through twelve. The Hoover mascot is the red cardinal bird. Interact is Rotary's high school community service program.
There are approximately 100 Hoover High students who participate at any one time in the three year mentoring and tutoring program. Much of the program experience is modeled on the Aaron Price Fellows Program including camp and visits to San Diego businesses, non-profits and government institutions. Students are able to experience a variety of programs along with ongoing one on one mentoring and tutoring. One of the major challenges at Hoover High School is a low graduation rate. The Cardinals Interact Program has been successful in supporting students so they do graduate. Many of the graduates of the program go on to four year colleges. Cardinals Interact participants are awarded a $1,000 or $1,500 scholarship for completing the program and graduating.
