The Mansfield Noon Optimist is a local service organization servicing the youth of Richland County and Celebrating our 100th anniversary in 2023!!

Mission: By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in youth, our communities and ourselves.

Vision: The Mansfield Noon Optimist is recognized as the premier volunteer organization that values all children and helps them develop to their full potential. 

Purposes: To develop optimism as a philosophy of life utilizing the tenets of the Optimist Creed; to promote an active interest in good government and civic affairs; to inspire respect for the law; to promote patriotism and work for international accord and friendship among all people; to aid and encourage the development of youth, in the belief that the giving of one's self in service to others will advance the well-being of humankind, community life and the world.

This year the funds raised for our Foundation will specifically be supporting our Adopt-A-Child program where we will be helping over 40 children to give them a better Christmas by buying them clothes, shoes, boots, and other items that they need, our Clubs Scholarship Program where we will be donating $7000 in college scholarships to local students, and our New Optimist Club Park located behind the Little Buckeye Imagination Museum.
