Being a Lion means knowing that kindness matters.

We believe in changing the world by serving the needs of our local communities. More than 1.4 million Lions around the world are responding to local and global challenges with kindness and care. Come volunteer with us.

Being a Lion means you’re part of a compassionate community.

When selfless, like-minded people gather together, beautiful things happen. From facilitating health screenings and feeding the hungry to cleaning up local parks and helping rebuild communities after disaster, Lions are ready and willing to jump in wherever there’s a need.

Being a Lion means making an impact through service.

Last year alone Lions served more than 539 million people worldwide. And we're not slowing down. We continue to serve our local communities and support eight global causes that impact the world.

Being a Lion . in their own words

"I love the club’s energy, vibe and the work we’re doing. Being a Lion is now part of my identity." Najoua Alioua

"I realized at a very young age that if I can help people, why not just go out and help? If you’re able to, do it."

Adam Wilkinson

"Being a Lion is a great way to help others, make new friends, become a leader and enhance your life. I am so glad I joined!"
