Global Service Team 2026-2027

 The Global Service Team (GST) helps clubs identify resources and use best practices to improve their projects and, by extension, their impact. Quality service projects increase member satisfaction and help attract new members who are looking to serve. The GST champions the service programs, resources and grants of Lions Clubs International and Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), empowering Lions and Leos around the world to maximize their service impact. 

 Individual Lions and Leo clubs volunteer to address local  humanitarian needs by mobilizing people and resources to deliver  hands-on service and improve the overall well being of their communities.  With 1.4 million members in over 200 countries and geographic  regions around the globe, Lions have a shared identity and a shared  responsibility to the people of the world through SERVICE.  The Global Service Team (GST) will champion the service framework of LCI  and LCIF and empower Lions and Leos around the world to maximize  impactful service, action and growth.
