We are Lions International

For over 100 years, Lions have served with uncommon kindness, putting the needs of our neighbours, our communities and our world first. Through the incredible work of our lion and leo members, and the support of our association and our global foundation, we are serving a world in need together

Driven by service, united by values, strengthened by diversity

At Lions International, we take pride in the service we bring to the world, the values we bring to our service, and how our diversity makes us stronger, smarter and more compassionate.

We believe that diversity is our strength, and it starts with fostering understanding, appreciating our differences, and valuing our unique talents and experiences. We know we can better serve the world when we embrace everyone, because together we are more.

Our core values guide our mission, unite our members, and elevate our service. They are the standard we set for ourselves and the promise we extend to the world.
