Who Are Lions?
- Members of the world's largest and most active service club organization.
- Men and women who believe that by working together they will accomplish far more than would be possible as individuals.
- Members committed to solving worldwide health and social problems, and who realize that solutions are possible when every Lions club does its share.
- People who cherish the fellowship of their own club, but who also feel a close kinship with Lions in over 180 countries and areas throughout the world.
- Patriotic citizens of their own countries, who, in the global community, strive for a world at peace.
- Individuals dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical and moral standards in their club – and in their personal lives.
- People who are serious about their commitment to humanitarian service, but have fun along the way.
The work of Lions since 1917 has resulted in…
- Creation of SightFirst, a blindness prevention program that aims
to eliminate preventable and reversible blindness worldwide.
- Establishment and operation of a majority of the world's eye
banks, resulting in approximately 10,000 sight-restoring corneal
transplants every year.
- Development and implementation of the Lions-Quest life-skills
curricula, which have provided millions of young people with the
skills to make responsible decisions to refuse drugs, alcohol,
tobacco and other threats to a healthy future.
- Hospitals, clinics, playgrounds, parks and thousand of
facilities that enhance day-to-day life in our communities.
- Services to the blind, including dog guides, white canes, and a
wide variety of employment opportunities and vocational training.
- Immediate disaster relief and support for rebuilding efforts.
- The sponsorship of Leo clubs and participation of young adults
in youth exchanges and international youth camps. These provide a
firsthand opportunity for youth to experience the first object of
Lions Clubs International: To create and foster a spirit of
understanding among the peoples of the world.
