Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. And communities get better. Our 45,000 clubs and more than 1.35 million members make us the world's largest service club organization.
Mission
To empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions clubs.
