Lions has a long and prominent history of providing community service, particularly with projects where the community at large, or those in real need, benefit. Lions Youth Outreach organise activities that make a difference in the lives of young people not only locally and nationally, but also internationally. Lions Quest programs are in use in 12,000 schools in Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa and Australia. World wide, more than 20 million young people have participated in the life skills programs.

Lions participate in forums to discuss problems facing young people, what support is available to them and their families in the local community and how inadequacies can best be addressed. Leo Clubs and Youth Insearch are examples of programs regionally that have benefited significantly from Lions Club involvement.

The Lions Youth Emergency Accommodation Centre (Pine Rivers) Inc. (LYEAC) was incorporated to address specific accommodation issues facing young people in the Pine Rivers and Caboolture areas. Located in Samsonvale Road, Strathpine, the medium term facility was built specifically to provide up to 5 young people, experiencing placement difficulties within the states foster care system, with safe and secure accommodation and related support services.

Land was donated to LYEAC by a local community disability service and substantial donations in kind, money, labour and counsel followed over the next 8 years to make the vision a reality.

In June 1998 members of over 80 Queensland Lions Clubs and other community members took 4 days to erect the building. In the months following, members of Lions District 201Q3 continued to work on the property, furnishing and equipping the building, landscaping and fencing the property. This property is now known as Clyde House.

In 2003, LYEAC transferred the operational duties of Clyde House to the Integrated Family and Youth Service with the agency successfully being licensed to provide formalized, residential care to young people later that same year.

Since the completion of the property a number of young people have resided and benefited from the work being undertaken at Clyde House. Young people housed at the facility have often previously demonstrated significant emotional and behavioural issues with most seeing, as a result of their stay, considerable changes in their behaviour and personal circumstances.
