Join the Lions!

Becoming a Lion

If you’re interested in volunteering, leading projects, networking and having fun – you can do all of this and more as a Lions club member. As a Lion, you’ll perform local volunteer work to improve your community – and communities around the world.

As a Lions club member, you’ll join a local group of service-minded men and women who are doing local volunteer work to support your community – right now. You’ll also become a member of Lions Clubs International, a respected international organization, a leader in your local community and a friend to people in need.

There are many reasons to become a member. As a Lion, you will:

  • Help your community and gain valuable skills

  • Make an impact on people's lives – locally and internationally

  • Learn to be a leader – and lead a respected organization

  • Network with business people in your community and around the world

  • Energize your life and have fun

  • You'll grow personally and professionally. And you'll know that the community volunteer work you perform is worthwhile and appreciated.
