New Club Journey

Join the movement of more than 48,000 clubs throughout the world and bring people together to improve your community!

Gather

Serving a community takes a community. Lions clubs are a group of 20 or more people who are committed to improving their community, which could include a town or city or even a special interest that spans a larger area. Clubs make service possible with more hands, more ideas and more connections.

How to Start a Club

Find Your Purpose

Each club is as unique as the community that it serves…and the possibilities are endless. As a Lions club, members determine how to improve your community together.  Lions Clubs International can help you find your purpose by introducing you to ideas and best practices that have helped clubs around the world and in communities just like yours.
