Leadership. Experience. Opportunity. These are just a few of the rewards young people gain from participating in Leos. They also happen to be the values that create the acronym of our club name.
In total, more than 150,000 young people in 139 countries are proud to volunteer to serve others in their local communities and to call themselves Leos. These young community leaders are friendly, active and dedicated to creating new and exciting youth volunteer opportunities by participating in their local Leo clubs. Social and professional connections are an additional benefit for Omega members (age 18 and older).
Leo clubs provide youth volunteer opportunities – and are also a place to grow and have fun. Find out what Leo clubs around the world are doing now. Or learn more about the history of Leo clubs.
Interested in youth volunteer opportunities? Use the Leo Directory and search by country or state. Then, contact the Leo club advisor from a local Leo club for membership information.
