Lion’s Heart is a teen-based volunteer program headquartered in California. The organization has several chapters in other states, such as Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin. It was founded in 2004 as a non-profit, non-fundraising group designed to “to inspire teens to have a positive impact in their communities through leadership and participation in volunteering, providing needed resources for causes that ignite their passions.”((From their mission statement, main website.) ) Lion’s Heart has enrolled approximately 4,600+ members as of 2015. The organization has grown steadily and offers teenagers the opportunity to perform community service without fundraising or other requirements. The organization enrolls teens who are in 6th through 12th grades. Lion’s Heart has become noted in California due to their presence among volunteer groups. == Organization == Each geographical chapter of Lion’s Heart has a group for each gender and grade level in the chapter. Each group has 3-20 Members, along with one parent who is the Class Coordinator and works as a chaperone. The Members elect their own officers, lead their own meetings, decide together what community service they want to perform, and who they want to help. Each 'class' is required to meet eight times during a year. Every volunteer in Lion’s Heart is required to perform at least 30 hours of community service every year. While the organization is mostly based around group activity, many members choose to do their community service on their own. The main office of Lion’s Heart often receives volunteer requests and those opportunities are passed along to each chapter by the organization’s Volunteer Outreach Chairman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lion’s Heart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
