Leos will develop leadership skills while participating in workshops
facilitated by Lions and Leos experts in various topics. Each workshop will
end with a small quiz that will earn the Leos credits to earn their diploma
from our High School Program. We will also be providing a Leo Advisor
Workshop, Leo Advisor Round table discussion with LCI staff, and Lions
Seminar for Parents. After all workshops, our Leos will engage with Leos
from all over the United States, Canada, and Multiple District 60 (Islands
of the Caribbean) in fun activities during the week long forum. These fun
activities will include a tour of the host city and a day of service at the Arizona
Lions Sight and Hearing Center.
