Our Passion to Serve Youth
by Ashok Mehta
President The International Association of Lions Clubs
Activities on behalf of youth continue to be the most popular area of service for Lions clubs worldwide. This year, I am urging Lions to maintain this focus in providing young people with opportunities to develop into contributing, involved citizens of their communities. Our passion to serve through youth programs such as Leo clubs, International Youth Exchange and Youth Camps, Lions-Quest, Scouting, the International Peace Poster Contest, Young Leaders in Service and other initiatives enable us to act in the capacity of trustees of future generations. Indeed, partnering with young people, the hope and promise of tomorrow, exemplifies our Passion To Excel.
