Once a year through the International Leo Video Contest, we offer Leos the opportunity to showcase the impact they make within their communities. And just like everything else with Leos, they transformed it into something larger than we ever expected. In just three minutes, their videos raise awareness on the issues that matter and reveal the heart of the Leo program – service.
This year, we asked Leos to share how they collaborate with Lions to serve as part of the Lions family. Of the 60 submissions we received from 29 countries, the video that received the most votes really demonstrated how Leos and Lions can accomplish so much more together than on their own. And when we serve, we change lives.
That’s why for more than six decades, Leos and Lions have worked side by side as partners in their communities. Leos show extraordinary compassion and bring life and energy to everything they do, inspiring Lions to think innovatively and bring fresh ideas to their clubs and their service. A Leo club’s impact reaches not only the people it serves, but also teaches young people how to be civic-minded leaders.
Consider sponsoring a Leo club and increasing your club’s community exposure. You’ll find that it will attract a diverse group of potential members, such as young professionals, students, teachers and parents. Your club, your service and your community will never be the same.
Expand your Lions family by starting a Leo club today.
