We are dedicated to serving in Olympia since 1935. Join us in making a difference through various community projects. Whether you have a day to give or want to lead a project, there's a place for you to contribute.

Meet fellow Lions, have fun, and make a difference. Our meetings are friendly, relaxed, and full of camaraderie. Come see how volunteering can also be enjoyable.

Join us every Tuesday at noon for a friendly gathering. Share updates, enjoy a talk, and connect with your community. Shorts are welcome!

Lions actively participate in local festivals, cleanups, and community events. We support and enhance Olympia’s vibrant life—join us in making our town even better.

For over 35 years, Olympia Lions have collaborated with local businesses and groups to improve our community—through cleanup, parks, education, and aid efforts. We’re dedicated partners in Olympia’s progress.
