The Leo Club program, an initiative of Lions Clubs International, was established in 1957 to inspire and empower young individuals worldwide. The name “Leo” represents Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity—core values that define the program. Since its inception, Leos have focused on personal development through community service, fostering leadership skills, and building connections that transcend borders. Today, with thousands of clubs in over 140 countries, the Leo movement continues to unite youth from diverse backgrounds to create a positive global impact.
