ATTENTION: New Volunteer Waivers and Optimist Club Youth Protection Policy


The Optimist International Board of Directors recently adopted three Volunteer Release Waivers that Clubs should use when utilizing non-member volunteers for Club projects. The OI Board and Optimist’s legal counsel strongly encourage Clubs to use these waivers as a tool to protect the Club and Optimist International from legal liability should one of these volunteers get hurt, cause harm, or put the Club at risk in some manner. These Waivers can be downloaded here and on www.optimist.org under Board of Directors Policies in the Legal section.


 Regarding the Youth Protection Policy, Optimist International President Rebecca Butler Mona states "This is an important policy for all Optimists to understand, and especially those who work directly with programs like JOI with ongoing direct youth interaction. We all need to be mindful and diligent of importance of no one-on-one interaction,  adequate chaperones,  etc. "   This Optimist Club Youth Protection Policy can be downloaded here and on www.optimist.org under Board of Directors Policies in the Legal section.

OIF Grant Applications

Does your club need some extra money to help finance a service project? Optimist International Foundation has some matching grants that might help you. Both the Childhood Health and Wellness (CHW) grant and the Club grant awards will range from $250 to $1,000.  Both of these are matching grants, meaning the club must have available the same amount of money that is being requested in the grant application.  The Club grant application must be for a new project for the club.


The deadlines to submit the grant applications are as follows":

Club Grant - March 15, 2021

CHW Grant - January 29, 2021, April 30, 2021, August 30, 2021


The Pass Through Grant is used if you have a donor willing to donate $100 or more to your service project, but would like the benefit of a tax deduction.
