Since 1999, the Saratoga Springs Lions Club has sponsored a Leos Club to get students at Saratoga Springs High School interested and involved in community service.
High school students interested in community service, as well as developing leadership and social skills, are invited to join the Leos Club.a branch of the Lions Club.
The Leos Club meets monthly during the school year, usually on a Wed. or Thurs. evening, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Saratoga Springs High School. All students in grades 9-12, no matter what schools they attend, are welcome to join. Refreshments are served.
The Leos’ service-oriented activities include:
- Helping to sort the many eyeglass donations we receive from our wonderful community, which then get a new home around the world!
- Sponsorship of two kids for Give a Child a Christmas
- On-ice assistance with Gliding Stars, a Lions Club co-sponsored ice skating program for visually impaired and physically handicapped children and young adults
- Fund raising and participation in the Relay for Life to benefit cancer research

- Assistance with the SS Lions Foundation’s Duathlon
- Assistance to the Salvation Army at Christmas time
- Attendance at the Lions Day at the United Nations
