JUNIOR OPTIMIST/OCTAGON CLUB
The Junior Optimist Club is formed at
the Junior High School Level. At the High School level, it is called an Octagon
Club. The basic tenets and doctrine of Optimist International ar fall
within the general parameters of Optimist International guidelines. They enjoy
great latitude in their choice and times of meeting, projects they choose to
undertake, fund raisers, socials, etc. Because the Optimist organization has
firmly established a highly respected reputation, the youth have found it to
be an excellent platform from which to launch projects directed at issues which
occupy their concerns. Youth who participate learn to develop leadership
and social skills necessary to accomplish many of the tasks they undertake.
The youth are well served by this educational process and the community is served
through the projects accomplished.
