Great Service Projects Begin with Our Global Causes

“We serve” is more than just a motto. It’s a way of life for Lions. In addition to all of the great local causes we support, we are known for our commitment to global causes such as hunger, vision, the environment, and newer initiatives like mental health and well-being.

Now is the time to plan our service for the year, and there is no better place to start than with a Lions global cause. And be sure to invite friends, associates and family to serve with you so they can see how powerful, fulfilling and fun service truly is.

Once they start appreciating the satisfaction of serving others, you can ask them to join the pride of Lions. When we have more Lions serving, we can change more lives than ever before; that is the essence of MISSION 1.5.

I look forward to seeing your global projects and the impact they have on the people we serve!

Together in service,

A.P. Singh

International President
