Our Mission
Sydney Autism Community Lions Club is dedicated to the advancement and empowerment of people on the autism spectrum.
We seek to serve our community by engaging in volunteer projects that will promote a culture of acceptance and enrichment.
Our goal is to produce outcomes that result in practical improvements in the lives of neurodivergent individuals and groups.
We respect and celebrate neurodiversity and value unique perspectives whilst acknowledging the amazing contributions that have been made to society by people on the autism spectrum.
We are an inclusive club and support network, and seek to provide an environment that promotes acceptance, support, friendship and connection for our members and community.
Becoming a LION
Becoming a Lion is simple. You should first decide whether you can afford a small amount of time to help our community.
There is a perception in some circles that service organisations such as Lions International require you to dedicate much of your leisure time to Lionism – THIS IS NOT SO. In Lions we stress that a member’s family and career come first and foremost. A Lion’s service comes sometime after these two important factors are satisfied. Of course any club would seek regular participation from its members but the decision to participate is always with the member.

Should you consider joining the Sydney Autism Community Lions Club please email us at info@sydneyautismlions.com. Our membership team is always pleased to speak to you about Lionism.
How you can serve
Participating in Meetings and Events
As a Lions club, we usually meet on the 4th Thursday of every month via online videoconferencing at 7 PM. Feel free to contact us beforehand to join. Also, whenever we have community events, we will announce them here and on our Facebook page.
Online
For some people, joining meetings is a bit difficult; however, we have many ways for you to join in, such as our meetings which are hosted on ZOOM. We also need all the help we can get in getting the word out online.
