Become a Member

Members participate in community service programs that are dedicated to bringing out the best in kids. The fee for joining is $100 CAD / year.

Members are expected to attend meetings and help out with events the best they can.

Become a Friends of the Optimist Member

The Friend of Optimists Membership category was created to accommodate people who believe in what Optimist International stands for and what Optimist Clubs do in their communities.

However, not everyone has the time to fully commit as a regular Member of an Optimist Club or perhaps they live in an area that does not have an Optimist Club.

Joining as a Friend of Optimists allows people to Bring Out the Best in Kids apart from Club affiliation
