By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in kids. Adult volunteers join Optimist Clubs to conduct positive service projects in their communities aimed at providing a helping hand to youth. With their upbeat attitude, Optimist Club members help empower young people to be the best that they can be. Every year, Optimists around the world conduct 65,000 service projects and serve well over six million young people.
As Members of Optimist Clubs, individuals have the opportunity to "Bring Out the Best in Kids" along with other like-minded citizens. Through an Optimist Club, volunteers can answer the needs of local youth by organizing meaningful service projects.

Hello, TexHoma Optimists!
I’m Tasha Todd Sheehan from Glen Rose, Texas,
your 2026-27 TexHoma District Governor. I’m an
educator, educational consultant, community
leader, and passionate advocate for helping
young people discover their potential and
prepare for successful futures.
Optimist International is a very important part of
my life. I’ve served as President of the Glen Rose
Optimist Club since 2021 and have held district
leadership roles as Lieutenant Governor and
Governor-Elect. I’m honored to serve as the 2026–
2027 Governor of the TexHoma District. I’m
especially proud of the accomplishments
of the Glen Rose Optimist Club.
I’m also actively involved in my community
through the Glen Rose Chamber of Commerce,
the Glen Rose Tiger Choir Booster Club, Lions
organizations, and scholarship foundations.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: every young person deserves to have someone who
believes in them and an opportunity to discover what they are destined to be.
Lets plant some Seeds of Optimism and Grow Some Fields of Change this year!
