Where did it all start?
The first Leo club to be established in the world was the Abington High School Leo Club, which was sponsored by the Glendside Lions Club in Pennsylvania, USA, in 1957.
Each Leo club has a sponsoring Lions club, and an advisor from the Lions club oversees the activities of the Leo club, providing guidance where needed. Leo clubs, however, remain independent from the sponsoring club, with their own board of directors, their own bank accounts, and their own meetings.
There are two types of Leo clubs: Alpha clubs and Omega clubs. Alpha clubs are for youth aged 12-18, and Omega clubs are for youth ages 18-35.
For more information about the Leo Club Program, please refer to the Youth Programs section of the Lions Web site at www.lionsclubs.org.
