Membership Eligibility

Any person of legal majority of good moral character and reputation in their community is eligible for Lions membership. Lions club membership is by invitation only. When inviting members, use the Membership Application on the LCI website and submit to the club membership chairperson or secretary, who, after investigation by the membership committee submits to the board of directors for approval. Types of Members Every club needs members in order to achieve its service goals. That’s why LCI offers several ways to become a Lion and serve. 2 • Regular Member Regular membership is for people interested in volunteer programs, community service and making our world a better place. Regular members pay an entrance fee (US$35) and full international dues (US$43). Additional district, multiple district and club dues apply. • Family Member The Family Membership Program provides families with the opportunity to receive a special dues discount when they join the same Lions club together. The first family member (head of household) pays full international dues (US$43), and up to four additional family members pay only half the international dues (US$21.50). All family members pay the one-time entrance fee (US$35). The program is open to family members who are (1) eligible for Lions membership, (2) currently in or joining the same club, and (3) living in the same household and related by birth, marriage or other legal relationship. • Student Member Student membership allows students to make new friends – and help others in their community at the same time. Students enrolled in an educational institution and between the age of legal majority and through age 30 pay no entrance fee and half international dues (US$21.50). Students over age 30 and joining a Campus Lions club pay a US$10 entrance fee and full international dues. • Leo to Lion Member Leo Lion membership allows current or former Leos to continue doing volunteer work with LCI as a Lion. All former Leos pay no entrance fee when joining a Lions club.
