Spreading Optimism!
The Optimist Club of Keswick is a community service organization dedicated to our Mission: "Through hope and a positive vision, we bring out the best in youth, our communities and ourselves". We have been supporting children and youth in Keswick since 1949. Optimist clubs are members of the worldwide Optimist International service organization, celebrating over 100 years of Optimists world-wide dedicated to serving the youth of our communities.
Our Club is dedicated to community-driven initiatives that support children's well-being and growth. We aim to empower local youth with resources to face challenges, fostering an inclusive environment that nurtures their potential and inspires them to pursue their dreams for a brighter future.
We are committed to generating funds and contributions to provide programs and assistance for local children and families, while also supporting higher education through our annual Essay and Oratorical scholarship competitions and bursaries.
Our club meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00 PM in the Ice Palace Meeting room, where we nurture a close community and create a positive impact through our collective commitment to service and the development of lasting friendships.
