Leo Club, the youth organziation of Lions Clubs International, has been established to develop and nurture the youth of this world, so as to ensure a better tomorrow. The main aim of a Leo Club, apart from providing assistance to its parent Lions Club, is to organize events that would help in not only enhancing the knowledge and development of today's youth, but also solidifying their character by instilling virtues of leadership and experience.
With this aspiration, Leo Club of Calcutta Park Avenue was chartered on 1st September 1999. It is the youth wing of the Lions Club of Calcutta Park Avenue. Over the past years, Leo Park Avenue has turned out to be one of the best clubs in the Leo District 322B1.
