This special program is designed for kids ages 12 and younger to teach them the joy of volunteering and help them develop a lifelong dedication to helping those in need. Cubs don’t need to be related to a Lions member to participate — they just need to be ready to help and have fun.
“We Serve” – The Lions International Motto – Can Begin at Any Age
With the Cubs program, the journey can start as early as age one. Being a Cub provides children with their first opportunity to engage in community involvement and discover more about themselves.
Joining as a Cub is the first step toward becoming a Mighty Lion. Cubs participate alongside their parents, who are Lions, and begin learning compassion and empathy at an early age. They also have the chance to collaborate with Leos, Omegas, and Lions, gaining hands-on experience and an early understanding of what their future could hold. Through these experiences, they learn the joy and fulfillment of giving back to their community.
Cubs can even contribute their own creative ideas for service projects, offering a fresh perspective through a child’s eyes. These opportunities foster self-confidence, communication skills, and teamwork as they work alongside others. Cubs begin to see their voices matter and learn that, with support, their visions can become a reality.
