The Traverse City Optimist Club offers a History that is Rich with Former Leadership and Growth.
Founded in 1954, the Traverse City Optimist Club has been a intricate part of the history and growth that guides our youth to be a positive and productive part of our community.
The Traverse City Optimist Club is a youth support organization that meets on odd weeks each month (other than July) for lunch. Our lunch meetings are centered around fellowship, camaraderie and keeping informed about local organizations and businesses. We give our time and effort to the support of local youth and youth organizations ensuring that our future will always be in good hands.
But there’s more to it than that. We hold fundraisers and events that foster friendships in our everyday life to support our community.
