Who we are

The Saratoga Lions Club is a vibrant community of volunteers dedicated to making a difference - locally and globally.  Since chartering in 1947, we've been committed to service, compassion, and leadership, whether it's supporting youth programs, aiding the visually impaired, or responding to community needs, we live by the Lions motto, "We Serve."

Our Mission

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

The World's Largest Service Club Organization

Our 46,000 clubs with 1.4+ million members in 210 countries and geographic areas around the globe make us the world's largest service club organization.

We're also one of the most effective. Our members do whatever is needed to help their local communities. Everywhere we work, we make friends. With children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who don’t have enough to eat, and with people we may never meet.

Where There's a NEED, There's a LION

Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. And communities get better. That's because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy.

Build Your Community

We believe that the world gets better and problems get smaller when people unite to serve their local and global community. Lions help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy. Since 1917, Lions have strengthened communities through humanitarian projects and hands-on service. We serve neighbors who live next door and people on the other side of the world that we may never meet.

Be a Lion

Join us in making a difference! As a Lion, you’ll join a local group of service-minded men and women who are working together to strengthen your community. You’ll also be part of something bigger—a worldwide network of dedicated volunteers in over 46,000 clubs. Be the difference in your community. Be a Lion!
