What Makes Lion's Heart Different?
- We are a Nonprofit Organization.
- We don’t belong to investors or owners, we belong to the community.
- All money the organization makes is invested directly back into Lion’s Heart.
- With that money, we develop programs for our members and help members in need of financial assistance.
- We do that, so ALL members are able to realize their ability to give back, and, in turn, spread equity across college admissions.
No Fundraising, Flexible, and Dedicated
- Lion’s Heart is not a fundraising organization, instead, members are encouraged to give back to their communities in meaningful ways while building empathy and positive leadership skills.
- We have dedicated staff who cultivate age-appropriate nonprofit opportunities for teens for every chapter.
- Members may also discover volunteer experiences on their own and can enter those experiences into their digital profile.
- Members can be a part of a group or serve as individual members.
Our Members Grow and Achieve Through Service and Leadership
- Group members have the opportunity to build leadership skills by hosting meetings, assigning officer roles, and coordinating a community service calendar with their group-mates.
- Through the Lion’s Heart digital portal, members track hours, earn leadership awards, and export their service portfolio to use on scholarship, college, and career applications.
- We care. Our vision is to see a world of engaged teens who volunteer in their communities and become dedicated to creating positive social impact for life; because it truly matters.
