The benefits of being a Lion
How is it work
Make a difference
There are over 48,000 Lions clubs around the world. Each one is filled with people like you who’ve decided to take
action and serve others. Collectively, Lions make a global impact through their community service.
Serve with pride
Lions feel a great sense of satisfaction from doing what is at the heart of all Lions clubs – serving others. You
will have the opportunity to give your time, share your talents, help your community, and feel proud knowing you
change lives.
Build your network
As a Lion, you develop relationships with the people in your club and also the local leaders you collaborate with in
service. You can also network with Lions in your district and around the world who are serving their communities,
just like you!
Gain Lion credibility
There are Lions in over 200 countries and geographic areas who share your passion for service. Gain the respect
that comes with being part of a global organization known for its contributions to humanity for over 100 years.
Develop new friendships
Feel a sense of belonging with the other members of your club, as well as the over 1.4 million Lions around the
world. Through the MyLion App, you can connect with other service-minded men and women locally, regionally
and internationally
Show your leadership
As a Lion, you gain access to our online learning management system, where you can sharpen your leadership
skills. You will also have the opportunity to lead within your club and gain valuable, practical experience for use in
your personal and professional life.
Receive global support
Every Lion and every club is supported by a global network of volunteers, the Lions Clubs International staff, and
the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), which provides grant funding to support the compassionate work
of Lions, empowering their service and addressing the needs of their communities both locally and globally.
