Springfield Westside Optimists

Bringing Out The Best In Kids

Optimist volunteers make our world a better place by believing in young people and empowering youth to be the best they can.

What Does Westside Optimist do?

Optimist International Springfield Westside

The Springfield Westside Optimist has been helping kids in Springfield and the Ozarks since 1958.  We are a service club that hosts fundraisers for children’s charities and projects helping local kids.

Westside Optimist’s focus is “Bringing out the Best in Kids.”

Through our programs and activities we provide support for young people to grow and develop Optimism. Optimism builds character, self- confidence and the ability to become contributing members of our communities. 

By believing in young people and empowering them to be the best they can, Optimist volunteers continually make this world a better place in which to live.

Recently we have supported Big Brothers Big Sister, CASA, EnCompass Academy, The Good Samaritan Boy’s Ranch and many more organizations doing great work for kids in our area. Our Club also owns the Westside Optimist Baseball Complex which has baseball leagues for kids on 3 fields at 3250 W. Grand.
