What is a Leo Club?

A Leo club provides Leadership, Experience and Opportunity for young people in the community. A Leo club must be sponsored by a local Lions club and must have an individual Lion advisor assigned to it. The sponsoring Lions club provides resources, as needed, to support the development and growth of a local Leo club and its program of activities.

 What do Lions hope to achieve by establishing and supporting Leo Clubs?

• Individual character formation of young people.
• Service to the community through team work and dedication.
• Cooperative fundraising programs, community projects and educational activities.

Lions strive to make a community aware of its obligations to youth by finding out what the needs of youth are and helping to fill those needs.

LEO Clubs and other Lions youth programs conscientiously encourage:

• respect for oneself.
• respect for the value and right of every individual.
• acceptance of responsibility for one's own actions.
• fostering an attitude of helpful service in the home, school and community.
• development of a spirit of international understanding and cooperation.
