East Bakersfield Optimist Club is a membership organization of neighbors, colleagues, and frends who meet regularly to serve the youth of our area. We currently have over 33 members of all ages, all walks of life, and all parts of Bakersfield and surrounding area. We love to serve.
The main purpose of our Club is to get out and organize events for our community, centered around youth.
In addition to sharing our interest in helping our youth with others, another great passion of ours is learning more about ourself thru our PGI (Personal Growth Involvment) program. Four times a year, we will get a chance to attend our "Quarterly Meeting" where coaching from a visiting master in the Optimist Organization will introduce you to Club Information and training not available anywhere else.
Our Club is a chapter of Zone 11, Pacific South West District, the Optimist International is divided in clubs, zones, districts, regions and countries. The Headquarters are in St Louis, MO.
