JUNIOR OPTIMIST CLUB
Participation in Junior Optimist International gives young people the opportunity to serve their
communities. Students who are involved in Junior Optimist Club 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 Club 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.
Interested? Contact Mrs. Lori Holbert at Pickens Junior High School.
