                                                      What is JOOI ?

 “JOOI” stands for Junior Optimist Octagon International. It’s the umbrella organization which links local Optimist Youth Clubs to others throughout North America! Much like Optimist International, JOOI is governed by an international board of directors as well as by district officers. Each year, Optimist Youth Club members attend district and international conventions to elect their peers to fill these positions.

 With special guidance and support from a sponsoring Optimist Club, an Optimist Youth Club completes fun projects and activities to improve the community and better the lives of its residents. Members have opportunities to polish leadership skills, manage money and practice good citizenship. These “hands-on” experiences help prepare students for college and adulthood!

Project possibilities are endless! Every Optimist Youth Club is challenged to study the needs within its community. A club may choose to complete environmental projects, visit the elderly, participate in Special Olympics, serve food in shelters, sponsor Red Ribbon Week events, or help at school events. There can be fund-raisers to benefit the Childhood Cancer Campaign or other local charities.
