What
is JOOI?
 |
Created
in 1988, Junior Optimist Octagon International (JOOI) has quickly
become one of the largest and most active youth service organizations
in the world. JOOI members represent the times well, by making
their communities better - one service project at a time. With
more than 16,000 members in over 650 communities, JOOI members
are constantly working to promote positive change in their communities.
Their motto is "Kids Serving Kids." Each JOOI Club is
governed autonomously, with its own local leadership. By keeping
that leadership local, JOOI Clubs empower young people to make
positive decisions to serve fellow youths and their community.
By encouraging involvement and awareness of local issues, JOOI
Clubs cultivate the leaders of tomorrow. For more information about JOOI
and youth volunteering opportunities, click

Past Governor Kristen Fox developed a JOOI Newsletter for Winter 2006 - 2007 click here for a copy.
We currently have 9 JOOI clubs in the SWIS District. Two of them have their own web sites.
