About Us

Chartered in January 1960, the Optimist Club of Malibu’s original mission was to provide positive role models and mentors to the young men of Malibu. The motto at that time was “Friend of the Boy“.

Today’s motto, “Friend of Youth” embraces the inclusive nature of our local community and of our club. We still continue to serve the children of Malibu but now include the youth in Camp Miller in the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains as well as a co-sponsor of the 100+ year old Optimist Youth Home in Eagle Rock, CA.
