Youth
Lions Clubs all across the British Isles and
Ireland support young people by recognising their efforts and providing them
with opportunities to learn, achieve and grow.
Lions support TACADE, (Teachers
Advisory Council on Alcohol and Drug Education), one
of the world's leading personal development and drug prevention education
organisations. Together, the two organisations help children develop the Life
Skills and self-esteem they need to lead healthy, safer lives.
Youth Football
Annually in Great Britain, the Lions 5 Nations Youth Football Tournament allows
under 14's teams to compete against each other in the only UEFA sanctioned
competition for this age group.
Selby District Lions Club hold a qualifying tournament, the winners of which go
through to the District final.
Young Musician
This competition, also held annually, is open to young musicians up to the age
of 23 years. A different instrument is chosen each year. The standard is high,
as they have to be at least a grade 8 student. There are District heats followed
by a National Final the winner of which goes forward to the European Finals.
Young Ambassador
Lions Young Ambassador Scheme, held every year, acknowledges today's young
people working as volunteers in their local communities and gives them the
recognition they deserve.
Here again Selby District Lions Club hold a qualifying round, the winner going
through to the District Final, progressing to the National Final and eventually
to the European Final.
Peace Poster
The Lions International Peace Poster Contest, held annually, encourages young
people, ages 11-13 years, to artistically express their view of peace—the
overall worldwide winner is introduced at Lions United Nations Day at the UN
Headquarters in New York. For more information,
