We believe that the giving of one's self in service to our youth will advance the well-being of humankind, community, and the world.
Optimist Club of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin ยท Chartered 1995
Someone You Should Know
Every month of the school year, two Mount Horeb High School seniors join us with their families and tell us their stories. Students who volunteer, teach the younger kids, stay late after practice. In May, some of them go home with a scholarship.

Who we are
We are friends and neighbors in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, who believe that investing in youth is among the most important work a person can do. Once a month we meet to plan scholarships, to honor students, and to prepare for the events where Mount Horeb counts on us. The club was chartered in 1995.
What's coming up
A new Optimist year
The Optimists are back for a new year. Next up is Monday, October 19, 6:45 in the evening at the Mount Horeb Public Library, with two more students to honor. Then, on Saturday, October 24, the Road Rally: four to a car, a series of clues, and a party at the end. If you've ever wondered what this club is like, that's an easy way to find out.
