The earth sustains human life. We’ve seen how our stewardship of natural resources can improve quality of life and increase engagement in our local communities. Our environment is more than a background: it’s our home. And we’re committed to caring for it.

Lions and Leos help children and families by increasing acts of support to families and children affected by childhood cancer. We help help communities improve diagnostics, treatment, and continued care and we are committed to helping increase awareness as a global priority.

Lions Clubs Global Service Journey

Every journey begins with a single step. One act of service, one encouraging word, one gift of generosity is often all it takes to bring hope where it’s needed most.

Over the last 100 years, the kindness of Lions and Leos has multiplied across borders, oceans, and continents. With over 1.4 million members, we now have an opportunity to truly change our world.

That’s why Lions are united around the above five areas of need.
