Junior Optimist (JOI)

Interested in joining the Junior Optimist Club? If you are a Laclede County student ages 14 - 19 and interested in joining our organization for the 2023 - 2024 school year, fill out the JOI application.

Our initial Junior Optimist group were coached by Mikel Flanders on leadership in preparation for the first ever JOI Officer voting!

Our new Junior Optimist group volunteered at the Fostering Hope Closet Carnival in April, 2023. Our group has students from Lebanon High School and The Cross Christian School, and as we expand this fall, we hope to see students from Conway and other Laclede County schools join us!
