Leo Club Membership

Leo awardWhy Become a Member 
Serving others, making new friends, and viewing the world through another’s perspective are some of the rewards that come for young people who join a Leo club.

Leos have access to opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills and participate in community service projects, and for Omega members (ages 18+), social and professional connections are an important benefit.

Leo clubs are a place to grow and have fun. Read what Leo clubs are doing now.

How to Join

No club near you? Here are a few tips for starting a new Leo club:

  • For a school-based club (members from one school or college) contact your principal or activities officer about Leo clubs. Use this Web site as an information resource. If the school is interested, approach your local Lions club. All Leo clubs must have a sponsoring Lions club. More than 45,000 Lions clubs are listed in the Club Locator, search by country or state.
