More about Junior Optimist International  

Junior Optimist International was officially formed in 1988. It is the umbrella
organization which links the local Junior Optimist International Clubs and
Members to others throughout the world. Much like Optimist International, Junior
Optimist is governed by an International Board of Directors, as well as District
Officers. From the Club level on up, Members have the opportunity to develop
leadership and teambuilding skills all while helping communities. Each year there is
an International Convention, which gives Members the opportunity to share in the
decision-making process of the organization, meet young people with similar
interests and goals, grow from training seminars…...and have fun!
Participation in Junior Optimist International gives young people the opportunity
to serve their communities. Students who are involved in Junior Optimist Clubs
learn about and practice good citizenship, teamwork, communication and money
management. They feel good about themselves and have high self-esteem.
Membership in Junior Optimist Clubs helps to develop friendships with others who
share the same interests. There are opportunities for personal growth and
leadership positions at Club, District, and International levels. Junior Optimist
exposes Members to Optimism as a philosophy of life, provides Members with an
improved sense of kindness, increased awareness for those in need, and a better
sense of coping with cultural diversity. It also provides members the opportunity to
complete community service hours required for graduation.
