Lighthouse Optimists Club

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 100,000 individual Members who belong to more than 3,100 autonomous Clubs. Optimists conduct 65,000 service projects each year, serving six million young people. Optimists also spend $78 million on their communities annually.

The Lighthouse Optimists (Barker) organize the youth soccer league during the summer, co-host the annual youth Halloween Party, and many other worthwhile events throughout the year.  The Lighthouse Optimists meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month at the Lions Community Center at 6:00pm.
