A New Benefit For Optimist Members

Dear Optimist Member,


You may remember our friends at Grouper, who have supported Optimist members in the past and share our commitment to building strong, connected communities. Recently, we took the next step in that partnership.


Optimist has launched a new online space within Hello by Grouper - a national healthy-living platform designed to help members boost their well-being by staying active, engaged, and inspired. Hello by Grouper is currently available to dues-paying, U.S.-based members only.


Optimist members have access to a wide range of healthy-living tools and experiences through Hello by Grouper - from fitness and mobility classes to wellness tools, educational talks, and interest-based communities. Within the platform, Optimist will also have its own dedicated space where members can stay connected between events and continue strengthening the ties that make our community thrive.


And because Hello by Grouper brings many associations together, you’ll also be able to explore new interests and connect with a wider world of supportive peers, all included with your Optimist membership at no additional cost.*


By joining Hello by Grouper, you’re investing in your own wellness and the overall well-being of our Optimist community, with access to:


  • Hundreds of live and on-demand classes and experiences: From fitness and strength & balance to arts & crafts and daily puzzles, Hello by Grouper offers endless opportunities to stay healthy and engaged.
  • Communities that inspire and uplift: Connect with like-minded people - from walkers and gardeners to crafters, music lovers, and lifelong learners - who’ll motivate you to build healthy habits.
  • Inspiring content and events: Book clubs, webinars, monthly challenges, and talks on healthy aging - all designed to spark joy and boost well-being.
  • Your Optimist space: Connect with fellow members, share what makes our organization shine, and stay up-to-date with club-related discussions and news.


Staying healthy and connected matters now more than ever - and strong communities don’t happen by accident. They grow when we show up every day.
