About Our Team

For decades, the Optimist Club of Sombra Township has served our community by hosting local fundraising events, putting on fun youth activities, awarding scholarships to help young people achieve their dreams, and more. Now, we want to take that rich tradition of community service and build the next generation by empowering our youth to create those same meaningful experiences through Junior Optimist International (JOI). 

JOI is where young leaders come together to take charge, build real-world leadership skills, and run hands-on projects that make a genuine difference locally and globally. By bringing JOI to Sombra Township, we are giving young people the chance to form friendships, build leadership and collaboration skills, and experience the incredible power of bringing people together to volunteer and give back. If you are ready to lead, serve, and be the spark that lights up the world, Junior Optimist International is your place to start making an impact today.
