Making history every day

With every project completed and each person served, we make history. We’ve been around for over 100 years, yet our story is still in the making. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s being written by helping hands, by shovels hitting the dirt, by donations being made, and by lives and communities being improved in over 200 countries and geographic areas around the world.

Lions serve. It’s that simple, and it has been since they first began in 1917. Lion clubs are in places where individuals join together to give their valuable time and effort to improving their communities, and the world.

Lions Mission - To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.

Lions Vision - To be the global leader in community and humanitarian service.

Lions’ history is a long one. And a proud one. For over 100 years, Lions served with uncommon kindness, putting the needs of their neighbors, communities and world first. Lions look back at their storied past with pride, but it’s only the beginning. Every day, they’re building on their legacy with the goal of making an even greater impact in the future. 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.

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.

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.
