- Lions Youth of the Year Quest: One of our most cherished youth programs is the Lions Youth of the Year Quest.

Our Club actively supports and promotes this annual competition, encouraging local high school students to participate. Through this Quest, we aim to foster future leaders by providing them with valuable experience and recognition for their efforts.
- Participants in the Youth of the Year Quest engage in a variety of activities, including public speaking, community involvement, and interviews with judges.
