Join our club

Help local youth—and find your place in the community.

Membership gives you a welcoming, practical way to turn your interests, time, and ideas into opportunities for young people in Sun Prairie.

Why become a member?

  • Make a direct, visible difference for local students.
  • Meet caring neighbors and build genuine community connections.
  • Choose projects that fit your interests, strengths, and availability.
  • Help shape scholarships, recognition programs, and youth-centered service.

What is expected?

The club holds two to three meetings each month and offers volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Participation is flexible: attend and help in the ways that fit your interests, passions, and schedule.

New visitors are welcome to attend a meeting before deciding whether membership is right for them.

$100 annual membership

What your dues support

Annual dues maintain your membership and the club’s affiliation with Optimist International. That connection provides member and club support such as liability insurance, administrative services, leadership training, and online resources that help volunteers serve youth responsibly and effectively.
