Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people the
opportunity to give something back to their communities.
From involving members in projects as local as cleaning
up an area park or as far-reaching as bringing sight to
the world's blind, Lions clubs have always embraced
those committed to building a brighter future for their
community.
Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world. The 1.35 million members of our volunteer organization in 206 countries and geographic areas are different in many ways, but share a core belief – community is what we make it.
Our programs are continually changing to meet new needs
and greater demands, but our mission has never wavered:
"We Serve."
Lions
club members are men and women who strive to make a
difference in their local community as well as
communities worldwide. Their volunteer efforts go
beyond the support of vision care, to addressing
unmet health and education needs worldwide.
