Who We Are

Optimist International is a worldwide non-profit, volunteer organization, made up of more than 2,500 Clubs throughout the USA, whose members work each day to make the future brighter by bringing out the best in children.

The Clarkston Area Optimist Club embraces this vision. Our core values resonate through the Optimist Creed and remain a constant reminder of the examples we strive to set for the Clarkston community in which we live, work and play for over 39 years!
