Become a Lion
Who Are Lions
Lions are hands-on individuals with more volunteers in more places than any other service organization in the world. The 1.35 million lions members in 206 countries share a core belief- community is what we make it.
How to Become a Member
Membership is by invitation but we want to hear from anyone who is interested. Contact any member of the club or get our address from the contact page and send us a letter. If you provide us with your contact information, a member will be in touch.
Why You Should Get Involved
Lions are well known for initiatives in vision health but their diverse service includes caring for the environment, feeding the hungry, and providing support to the local community, youth, seniors, and the challenged. Together with the Lions Clubs International Foundation, they actively work to eradicate blindness, provide disaster relief and address humanitarian needs.
You can make an impact on peoples lives - locally and globally. We need the help of passionate members like you to:
- provide more hands for service
- gain fresh ideas for service activitities
- spread enthusiasm for helping others
- raise community awareness
