Convinced about getting involved in your local Optimist Club?

Remember, Optimist Club members receive as much as they give:

• The fellowship of people who get things done-and the example they set for embracing a similar optimistic mindset

• New social and working relationships with individuals from a cross section of communities

• The opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership skills locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally

• And the satisfaction of making a difference in their own lives as well as their communities.

If you are searching for an outlet to help your community, personal development, or rewarding camaraderie, you'll find what you're looking for in your local Optimist Club!

Optimist Clubs are located in all parts of North America--from the northern tip of Newfoundland to the Hawaiian islands, from the Southeast corner of the Caribbean to Alaska. There are a few clubs scattered throughout the rest of the world (in Mexico, Hungary, Russia, France, Ukraine, Republic of Georgia, the Philippines) and new clubs are being added daily.
