![]() Lion’s Heart - Teen Volunteers and Leaders is a non-profit that connects teen members (ages 11-17) with age-appropriate volunteer opportunities in their area through a digital platform that also helps them track service hours, earn awards (including the President’s Volunteer Service Award), interact with peers, and build a strong service portfolio that can be used for college/scholarship applications. Both group and individual members receive the same volunteer opportunity suggestions in their email and have the ability to earn awards throughout their Lion’s Heart experience. Individual Members are not required to attend meetings and may volunteer on their own schedule. If a group has not yet formed in your area, you may elect to start a group or enroll as an Individual Member. During registration, you will see a selection of open groups (if applicable) within 20 miles of your zip code. For example, if you are an 8th grade boy in the Huntington Beach, CA area you may elect to join the Huntington Beach Boys Blue Class of 2023. Colors are included in group names to help distinguish similar groups within a Lion’s Heart Chapter. ![]() An adult volunteer (typically a parent of one of the group members) oversees group facilitation in the role of Class Coordinator. There is a maximum of 20 members per group. Lion’s Heart does not form new groups until the existing group is closed. To form a new group in an existing chapter, there must be a minimum of 3 members and a class coordinator. Group members are required to attend meetings during the Lion’s Heart year (May 1 - April 30), elect officers, and work together to reach their volunteering goals. Groups are formed based on high school graduation year, gender, and chapter location. There are two ways for teens (ages 11-17) to participate in Lion’s Heart - Teen Volunteers and Leaders-group membership and individual membership.
