ABOUT LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL

KINDNESS IN ACTION
When caring people join together, roll up their sleeves and take action to make their community better, it’s a beautiful thing—and an incredible feeling for everyone involved. That’s Lions. Being a Lion is about leading by example, building relationships and improving the world through kindness. It’s 1.4 million caring men and women serving together so they can make a lasting impact and change more lives.
THE BENEFITS OF BEING A LION
When you become a Lion, you become part of a global network of volunteers working together to make a difference. Here are just a few of the great benefits you can expect.
Join a Community of Good
There are over 48,000 Lions clubs around the world. Each is filled with people like you who’ve decided to take action and serve others. Lions form unique friendships and meaningful connections that can last a lifetime.
Put Leadership Skills into Action
A Lions club is a great place to develop your leadership skills and put them into action. Each club offers opportunities to lead, along with first-class training from our global association.
Experience the Feeling of Service
At the heart of Lions clubs there is one constant: service. Giving your time and energy to others is a fantastic way to help your community. Yet, it also provides a great feeling for you that can spread and have a positive impact in your life and how you approach the world.
Access a Global Support System
Every Lion and club is supported by our international association. More than 300 Lions International staff members are constantly working on tools and technology to enhance your service.
OUR GLOBAL CAUSES
Every journey begins with a single step. One act of service, one encouraging word, one gift of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it’s needed most.
Over the last 100 years, the kindness of Lions and Leos has multiplied across borders, oceans, and continents. With over 1.4 million members, we now have an opportunity to truly change our world.
That’s why we’re uniting our global service around five areas of need. These Global Causes present significant challenges to humanity, and we believe it’s our turn to meet them.
Diabetes : We serve to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve quality of life for those diagnosed.
Vision : We serve to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired.
Hunger : We serve to ensure all community members have access to nutritious foods.
Environment : We serve to sustainably protect and restore our environment to improve the well-being of all communities.
Childhood Cancer : Lions and Leos provide support for the needs of children and families affected by childhood cancer through impactful service activities.
Eyeglasses and hearing aids recycling : Since 1925, Lions International has been a champion in helping combat vision impairment and blindness. With this same conviction, Lions have also been a force in providing medical care and education to help prevent hearing loss.

To Show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.

Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
