International Programs
Optimist International provides a framework for many universal programs, many of which are selected by local clubs to reach youth in their communities. Not all clubs do each project. Some only do one or two, others several. Almost all clubs participate in the Essay Contest, many use the Oratorical contest, and almost all are involved in the Childhood cancer campaign.
While there are details of each program on the specific pages linked below, a good summary of all of them is in a pdf file you can get by clicking here.
If you, a non-Optimist, are interested in any of these programs, contact your local Optimist Club.
