Optimist Creed In Multiple Languages

https://youtu.be/CT27mqosTqc

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

Mission

By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in youth, our communities, and ourselves.
