Specialty Clubs Program

Answering a Special Call to Serve

Launched in August 2017, the Specialty Club program was designed to create clubs in which members share a common interest or passion, allowing them to connect with one another on a deeper level. For example, they may share a hobby, profession or ethnicity. Forming specialty clubs allows groups of people around the world to turn their passions into rewarding service projects that directly benefit their communities. 

The Lions clubs below were all chartered because of shared interests:

• Sutton Racing Lions Club
• El Paso Executive Women Lions Club
• Fairbanks Snowmobile Fun Lions Club
• Whittier Special Olympics Sola Lions Club (in support of Special Olympics)
• Lions Club of Ramanathapuram LifeSavers
• Victoria Quilters Lions Club

Joining a Lions specialty club is a great way to meet people who share common interests and build leadership skills while serving your community.
