Extension Workshop Program

Extension Workshop Program

The Extension Workshop Program is designed to help Lions start new clubs. Lions learn key strategies for identifying potential club locations and how to approach and recruit important community leaders into a new Lions club.

Workshops focus on proven methods for recruiting and incorporate fieldwork to build confidence and share skills. The goal for each workshop is to form at least one new club, near the training site, while simultaneously training 10 to 30 Lions per session.

By holding a workshop, participants engage firsthand in the formation of a new Lions club, making the workshop informative and exciting. Participants also learn to involve charter members in meaningful activities to build a strong foundation. In just a few days, you can be on your way to chartering a new club!

The program is currently available in:

• North America
• Latin America
• Australia and New Zealand
• Scandinavia
• France and Belgium

No cost is associated with holding a workshop and Lions Clubs International will assign a consultant to conduct the training. Our consultants are Lions with extensive knowledge in forming new clubs and are ready to assist you.

Why Starting New Lions Clubs Is Important

New clubs create more opportunities for community and service-minded individuals to be involved in projects they care about. Forming new clubs allows Lions to meet the needs of their community. And new clubs create diversity by attracting young adults and women to join.
