Lions are ordinary people within their local community who willingly volunteer some of their time to humanitarian causes in the local and global communities.
To achieve this, they become members of their local Lions Clubs.

Lions are members of
THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LIONS CLUBS,
which is usually abbreviated to LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL.
This is a global community service organisation that is dedicated to the idea that the men and women who live in a community are in the best position to know who needs help and why.
LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL is the world's largest such organization, with 1.4 million members serving in 200 countries and areas.
