Youth & Education Programs

Colorado Lions Foundation Educational Scholarship

The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to provide undergraduate educational scholarship funds to legal citizens within the State of Colorado and MD-6. A Lions Club is required to sponsor any applicant.

Eligibility: To be considered, an individual must be a Colorado High School graduating senior and accepted for enrollment at an accredited Institution of Higher Learning.

🎨 Peace Poster Contest

Each year our club sponsors the Lions International Peace Poster contest in area schools. Students 11-13 years of age create a poster on the theme of the year, and the artwork is judged locally, regionally, at the state level, and ultimately with submissions from all around the world.

🎤 Speech Contest

Colorado Lions sponsor a statewide contest for students in grades 9-12. We encourage local students to participate and have had students win Local and Zone contests, finishing as high as 4th at the State level.

🌍 Youth Exchange

Lions provide unique opportunities for students to participate in the International Youth Exchange, where students from the United States spend time with a family in another country. Local families are also encouraged to welcome an exchange student into their home.
