Leo Clubs
Leo Clubs provide an opportunity for youths to work together as members of a Club, and to support their Communities.
It provides the challenges and experience of working as a Team with Leadership opportunties by holding one of the various Club Aministrative Officer postions.
A good way to work with other, help others and enjoy doing it.
Young Ambassador Award
The primary ai
m of this Annual competition is to recognise the effort that our Youths put into our Community.
We have Youths who give up a lot of their free time by helping those, who are less fortunate than themselves, or to further the aims of various Youth organisations. e.g.visiting homes for the elderly; providing invaluable input to the Scouts, Guides, St. John's Ambulance etc.and working with the disabled. Also by initiating groups that help other children with regards to bullying at school, dyslexia etc. We have local, National and European level competitions which recognise their efforts and also provides the opportunity to win Bursaries to further their projects. It is open to Youths aged 15 to 18 year old
Other Youth Activities
Lions Clubs also provide various other Youth Activities such as our International Youth Exchange, 'Young Leaders In Service' which recognises Youths who perform Community Service and other programs.
