Meeting the needs of
young people in communities worldwide, Optimist Clubs have been "Bringing Out
the Best in Kids" since 1919. Optimist Clubs conduct positive service projects
aimed at providing a helping hand to youth. Club members are best known in their
communities for their upbeat attitudes. By believing in young people and
empowering them to be the best they can, Optimist volunteers continually make
this world a better place to live. There are 114,000 individual members who
belong to 3,500 autonomous Clubs. Optimists conduct 65,000 service projects each
year, serving six million young people. Optimists also spend $78 million on
their communities annually.
