Lead to Serve, Serve to Lead with International President A.P. Singh

From the very beginning, Lions have welcomed everyone with a heart to serve — and that spirit shines especially bright when we engage younger generations. Young people bring fresh ideas, new energy and a passion for service that help keep our organization strong, relevant and growing.

To carry our mission into the next 100 years and beyond, we must continue inviting dynamic, service-minded people to stand alongside us.

Lions have a unique opportunity to grow alongside Leos through meaningful mentoring — including reverse mentoring, where young people inspire us with fresh ideas, new technologies like AI and service that speaks to their generation. By strengthening the journey from Alpha Leo to Omega Leo to Leo-Lion, and by building more family-friendly clubs, we open the door for younger neighbors, friends and families to join us in a lifetime of service.

The future of Lions is not ahead of us — it is already here, in the hands of the young. Together, across generations, we can continue to serve our communities — and the world — with purpose, compassion and love.

Together in service,

A.P. Singh

International President

Get Ready to Celebrate Worldwide Induction Day

Worldwide Induction Day, held this year on April 25, 2026, is a special time to welcome new Lions into our global family. We couldn’t do what we do without these dedicated individuals with a heart to serve and a passion to lead. Use our WWID resources to plan for this exciting event — you’ll find a complete planning guide, a social media kit, certificates and special Leo induction resources. You can even download a special induction video with International President Singh and Past International Director Jatia to lead your new members through the oath.

Support Leos During Leo Awareness Month

April is Leo Awareness Month, a time to celebrate Leos and their meaningful contributions to our mission of service. Here are some ways your club can support current Leos and welcome new ones:

• Start a Leo club ─ Discover how sponsoring a Leo club gives young people the opportunity to lead, serve and make a difference with us.

  
  

• Help Leos transition to Lions ─ When Leos age out of the program, we have resources that can help you encourage and support their Leo-to-Lion transition.

  
  

• Celebrate Leo creativity and leadership ─ Be inspired by this year’s Leo Video Contest winners and see how Leos around the world are sharing their passion for service.

  
  

Give Leos your support today so that they can become the Lions of tomorrow!
