An Optimist Club is a group of concerned citizens joining together to help the youth in their community. Working directly with young people in their community, Optimist Club
members organize and conduct many types of events and programs for youth. Each Optimist Club tailors its service
activities to meet the needs of its community. Often, an Optimist Club will respond to a special local need... b
y providing
relief to disaster victims, or by building athletic fields, or by sponsoring youth bands or choral groups... anything is possible
to an Optimist Club member! Funding for an Optimist Club's projects is generated from within that club's community,
and the funds generated tend to stay there... Where they can do the most good.
