We are Okotoks Optimists!

Our mission is to bring out the best in youth, the community and ourselves.

Connecting Youth to Possibility. Your go-to place for opportunities to engage with youth, community or yourself.

Promise Yourself…

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

The Okotoks Optimist Club facilitates and advocates for positive relationships between youth, businesses and community members to develop youth citizenship in our community. 

We offer youth opportunities to be mentored and recognized for their accomplishments, good deeds, successes, and strength of character.

We support these Okotoks area services:

“If you have much, give of your wealth; if you have little, give of your heart.”

Join the club and discover what Optimism can do and how you can give back, have fun, build lifelong friendships, and fulfill a purpose. Don't have time to join the club but still want to support us? Become a Friend of Optimist.
