The Optimist Creed

Many have found inspiration in The Optimist Creed (Click here to check it out).

Optimist International adopted this creed in 1922. It was originally published in 1912 in a book titled: Your Forces and How to Use Them. The author was Christian D. Larson, a prolific writer and lecturer who believed that people have tremendous latent powers, which could be harnessed for success with the proper attitude.

Mission Statement

Optimist International’s mission is to foster an optimistic way of life, through a network of optimists, dedicated to the full development of their potential in order to provide ever-expanding service to youth, the community, and the world.

Vision Statement

Optimist International will be recognized worldwide as an organization of people committed to optimism and self-development for the improvement of youth and community.
