FOR LIONS CLUBS

Your Club’s Role

Your club is the local doorway into the Speak Out Speech Contest. Students may first hear about the opportunity from a teacher, counselor, parent, homeschool group, library, Leo Club, or youth organization, but your club helps create the local connection.

Participating clubs will help promote the contest, hold a local contest using the official statewide topic, and submit their winning contestant by December 15. The local winner will then present the same speech at the Mid-Winter Convention in January.

This does not need to be complicated. A successful local contest can be simple, welcoming, and well-organized. The most important thing is giving students a meaningful opportunity to share their voice.
