Association of Young Leaders
The Association of Young Leaders (in Russia) is a non-
profit, student-led organization which helps student leaders
develop "the understanding, skills and experience they need
to positively impact their schools, their communities and
their future." AYL has regional affiliates throughout
Russia, and in 1994 helped establish the Kazakhstan
Association of Young Leaders.
AYL's main program is organizing leadership training courses
which last one to five days. Students who complete the
entire series of courses go on to train others. Since it
was founded four years ago, AYL has organized more than 60
leadership courses for more than 5,000 students. There are
now 220 "peer trainers" who are able to serve as staff for
AYL workshops.
AYL was established as a result of a joint project by
several Russian young people and the California Association
of Student Councils (CASC). AYL's leadership education
process is modeled on one developed by CASC.
AYL's Web site (in Russian and English) has background
information about AYL, the schedule for upcoming leadership
conferences, and contact information for AYL regional
affiliates.
