Why Join the Niantic Lions?
Serve Where It Matters Most:
Our club’s projects focus on vision (our historical primary focus), hunger, pediatric cancer, diabetes, environment, youth empowerment, disaster relief, and humanitarian efforts. Over the past 75 years, we’ve donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to local organizations like Care & Share, local scouts, EL Little League, the EL Giving Garden, the Miracle League, and many more.

Hands-On Community Impact:
We’ve built the Liberty Green gazebo, purchased & renovated the Town Hall pavilion, and built the former high school press box as well as the Seebeck Pavilion behind East Lyme Town Hall. We beautify local roadways, screen children for eye disease, distribute holiday food baskets, cook annual dinners for seniors, sponsor the Niantic Arts and Crafts Festival, assist in the East Lyme Giving Garden … and many, many other projects in our community!
Family-Friendly & Flexible:
Many members are couples or families. Additional family members from the same household get reduced dues. Attend as many meetings or events as your schedule allows-no pressure!
Youth Engagement
We frequently team up with the Shoreline Leos (our student chapter), who have over 100 energetic members.
