Why become a Leo?

BENEFITS OF BECOMING A LEO

For the past 40 years, thousands of young people have benefited from membership in the Leo Club Program. Some of these benefits are tangible; others are intangible.

Making new friends and viewing the world through another’s perspective are two of the benefits of Leo service. As community volunteers, Leos often develop confidence and organization skills through his hands-on experience.

Leo club and district offices help young people develop these skills. In Multiple District 305, Pakistan, Leos participated in a leadership camp to develop motivational and organizational skills. Members of the Athens (Psichikon), Greece Leo Club participated in a Leo seminar organized by their sponsoring Lions club.

Another benefit of Leo club membership is experiencing teamwork. The Bandirma (Balikesir) Leos, Turkey, organized a fundraising dinner. Proceeds from the dinner benefited children in need. In Cyprus, members of the Famagusta Leo Club worked together to create a successful car wash fundraiser.

Membership in Leo Club also develops fellowship and camaraderie. As every Lion knows, these are essential for a successful club. One of the many activities enjoyed by the Tokai Leo Club, Republic of South Africa, is bowling. The Leos have also enjoyed attending theater events together, playing active cricket, taking hikes, and playing the Trivial Pursuit board game.

As members of a worldwide organization, Leos have international benefits as well. Leos often participate in the Lions international youth camp and youth exchange programs. Leo clubs also participate in the Leo club twinning program. Recently, the Coronel Bogado “SUCA” Leos, Paraguay, twinned with the Porto Xavier Leos in neighbouring Brazil.

Leo Club's Objective and Motto
Participation in the Leo Club Program enhances the lives of young people. As active community members, Leos learn the true meaning of the Leo club motto – leadership, experience and opportunity.

"...to provide the youth of the world (with) an opportunity for development and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of the local, national and international community."

The Leo club motto is:

Leadership - Leos develop skills as organizers, time managers and motivators of their peers.
Experience - Leos learn the importance of cooperation through community service.
Opportunity - Membership provides young people with a chance to excel, to develop positive
character traits, and to receive recognition for their contributions to the
community.

Today, the Leo Club Program is stronger than ever. Community service remains the cornerstone of the program. Like their Lion counterparts, Leo club members enjoy serving their neighbors and watching positive results unfold.

LEO CLUB MEMBERSHIP
Why Become a Member Serving others, making new friends, and viewing the world through another’s perspective are some of the rewards that come for young people who join a Leo club.
Leos have access to opportunities to learn and practice leadership skills and participate in community service projects, and for Omega members (ages 18+), social and professional connections are an important benefit.

Leo clubs are a place to grow and have fun.

LEO CLUB OF KDU PJ

I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
