A Rewarding Experience
Volunteerism is the act of contributing free labor to conduct community service or support a nonprofit organization. It is the principle of donating time and energy towards a greater cause. Volunteers help change lives of those in their community as a social responsibility rather than receiving a financial reward.
It is the volunteering of our club members and our community at large that enables our Optimist Club to have a profound impact on our community and our youth. These volunteers assist in various programs throughout the year. The support received by our community is what allows our club to give back to our community and our youth in such positive way.
Volunteering in our club means sponsoring community and youth-oriented activities. Many of our youth later become members of an Optimist Club because of what they experience as a youth and their positive interaction with adults.
Volunteering is a mutually beneficial activity that enriches both the lives of those who volunteer and the communities they serve.
