A decade later the Lions International Board of Directors adopted the Leo Club Program as an official program of the association. Through the Leo Club Program, young people develop and practice leadership, organisation and social skills through participation in Leo club &nbsp; activities and service projects. Involvement in these activities often fosters a lifetime commitment to helping others, while enhancing the community. </span></span><br></div>
