How does the YLiS award work?
The YLiS award is sponsored by Kenilworth Lion’s Club. We will recognise as many young people as are eligible, inviting youth groups or local schools to participate.

Each young person will be provided with a logbook in which to record their volunteering activity. These activities are in several different categories – all hours can be from the same activity or from a variety of different volunteering activities.

Categories could include; helping at school / youth clubs, charity shops, helping the elderly, family members or the homeless. It could also include protecting our environment, assisting fundraising or welfare activities and more.  Young people (16 to 18 years) may also wish to assist at the Kenilworth Lions furniture store on Saturday mornings or at some of our annual community events. All these activities count as hours towards the award.

The awards available are as follows:

• 25 – 49 hours of service = Bronze Award
• 50 – 99 hours of service = Silver Award
• 100 hours of service = Gold Award
• 250 hours of service = Platinum Award to the Lions club.

Administration of the award:
Kenilworth Lions Club youth leads will distribute program materials to all participants. They will coordinate with an adult, youth group leaders or school personnel, who can certify the young person’s service records and submit forms to the Lions Club youth leads as requested.

Kenilworth Lions will request awards from Lions Club International HQ. An annual award ceremony will be offered to all participants to celebrate their achievement with family, friends and other organisations.

Lions Club International issues a congratulatory letter from the International President and a certificate for each young person. 

Kenilworth Lions aim is to:

• support and empower young people to serve for their community.
• Introduce young people to future service and leadership opportunities
• Provide on-going mentoring and assistance throughout the process
