 Leo Clubs are part of the Lions Clubs International
worldwide service organization and are the
official Youth programs of Lions. Beginning
in 1957 and becoming established internationally
in 1968, Leos follow the same principle and
aims as Lions. Leo Clubs are formed and operated
under the guidance of a Lions Club and are
made up of young people from early teens
to late twenties. Most clubs are of a similar
age group with both male and female membership.
Leo Clubs throughout the world have contributed
in many ways to raise funds for the purchase
of life saving equipment for hospitals, devices
for the disabled and many forms of help to
those less fortunate in their communities. |

The objective of the Leo Club Program is:
"...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 charatcer
traits, and to receive recognition for their
contributions to the community.
