Scholarships
Education is the most reliable road to a better life. Young people can achieve everything when they are willing to work. Rewards for effort reap greater rewards.
Junior Optimist Club
Optimism as a philosophy of life and a sense of commitment to community are traits that can shape young people into future leaders and pave a road to success throughout life. The Passaic Junior Optimist Club was created to allow the youth of Passaic to develop those positive traits, grow through community giving and establish life-long friendships, while finding an alternative to the crime, gangs and drugs that plague our society and prey on young people.
