Join Our Mission: Volunteer With Us

Lions serve their communities—it’s at the heart of who we are. The South Dakota Lions Foundation relies on dedicated volunteers to ensure that every South Dakotan has access to essential vision care.

Make a Real Impact

Our vision screening program is expanding rapidly. In 2026, we expect to screen more than 50,000 children across the state. By providing vital early-detection services, our volunteers help identify vision issues before they impact a child's education or quality of life.
