How to recruit Leos
Recruiting new Leos is the best way to revitalize your club, keep your service fresh and increase your impact. You know what you love most about being a Leo, and the following tips and resources — in addition to guidance from your club membership chairperson — will help you turn your passion into great recruitment.
Plan what you’re going to say
Knowing what you’re going to say to a potential Leo takes the pressure off recruitment. And the Leo Recruitment Pitch resource and video are designed to help guide your pitch with examples, resources and more.
Start conversations
Talking about your experience as a Leo is a great conversation starter for a prospective member. Consider sending the Leo recruitment video to those you think might be a good fit, and be sure to have a recruitment brochure handy — you might be speaking to your next great Leo!
Make your club more visible
Promoting your club is one of the best ways to be seen in your community. Explore the Marketing Matters webpage to learn about the power of marketing and to find helpful resources. You might consider hanging Leo recruitment posters around local community spaces.
Spread the word online
So many great conversations take place online, so be sure to use social media and other online platforms. You can use pre-made flat graphics or customizable Canva templates in our social kits to spread the word online. The Leo YouTube playlist is also a great source of inspiration and shareable videos for your online promotions.
Stock up on Leo gear
Get noticed when you recruit and serve. The Lions Shop is full of all the Leo items you need, from signs and pins to certificates, plaques and more.
