Lions Opportunities for Youth Mission

To provide the young people of the world with opportunities for achievement, learning, contribution and service, individually and collectively, through sponsorship of activities identified as best practices in the field of youth development

Drug Awareness - The threat of drug and alcohol abuse universal. Lions clubs have responded with educational programs designed to prevent drug abuse and help young people make healthy decisions about their lives. The Lions-Quest "Skills for Growing" program reaches children from kindergarten through fifth grades, while "Skills for Adolesence" curriculum is targeted at junior high and middle school students. We sponsor these and many other drug education efforts worldwide.

Educational Services - We award scholarships every year. We also sponsor career nights at high schools and invite locally prominent people to help graduates plan their futures. Literacy programs and vocational training in underpriviledged areas are also high on our agenda.

Youth Exchange - Lions clubs contribute greatly to international understanding and good will by participating in the Youth Exchange Program. Qualified young people are selected by sponsoring Lions clubs to visit other lands as the guest of host Lions clubs. They observe typical community life and gain knowledge of other cultures and peoples.
