Membership to Optimists Without Borders USA is open to every individual or corporation who subscribes to the mission and purposes of the Association. To become a member, simply follow the instructions below and click on the relevant links.

Optimists Without Borders USA wants to help creating a better world. Accordingly, its Board of Directors decided to give back 10% of its memberships’ fees to a charity active in a field related to our purpose. At the end of each fiscal year, members with valid membership will be asked to vote to select the beneficiary organization, amongst 3 choices proposed.

Consistent with our parent’s organization, we are offering a yearly membership and an “Eternal Optimist” membership, for both individuals and corporations. “Eternal Optimists” are the members or corporations who consciously decided to stay optimist until the end, despite life difficulties and hurdles, and who have contributed with a sole membership to OWB USA. They can chose to have their names mentioned on our website.

“Pay as you can” membership: We do not want to exclude anybody because of financial reason. Anyone wishing to become a member of OWB USA and not able to do it due to financial difficulties, will be able to pay a membership fee related to own possibilities, even a symbolic dollar. Confidentiality will be guaranteed. 

(*) Our members are entitled to receive reduced registration fees at our events and conferences, OWB USA newsletters, updates, access to resources such as educational materials developed in the future, and certain other benefits to be determined by the Board. We will work on increasing members’ benefits with the development of the organization.

(**) The membership fee of a company / corporation also includes – without additional fee – the membership of the physical person responsible.
