Leo Clubs
Leo Clubs are an extension of the Lions service organization which
aims to encourage community service and involvement from a young age.
Leo Clubs much like Lioness Clubs are sponsored by a parent Lions Club.
Leo Clubs are a common
school-based organization with members between the ages of 12-18 from
the same school, these are commonly referred to as Alpha Leo Clubs.
Community based clubs also exist, these generally cater for 18-30 year
olds and are referred to as
Omega Leo Clubs.

Leo Club History
Coach Jim Graver started the Leo ball rolling in 1957 and chances are
that ball was a baseball. Graver was the baseball coach of the Abington
High School in Pennsylvania, USA and an active member of the Glenside
Lions Club. With help from his fellow Lion, William Ernst, the first
Leo club was charted on December 5, 1957.
As the world's first Leo club, the Abington High School Leo Club
created the Leo acronym – Leadership, Equality, Opportunity – and chose
their school colors, maroon and gold to serve as the Leo club colors.
Later, Equality was changed to Experience.
In October 1967, the board of directors of Lions Clubs International
adopted the Leo Club Program as an official program of the association.
The Leo Club Program has continued to grow within the last 50 years.
Leos now constitute an international network of over 6,500 clubs in over
140 countries. Community service remains the cornerstone of the
program, fostering a lifetime commitment to helping others. Like their
Lion counterparts, Leo club members enjoy serving their neighbors and
watching positive results unfold.
