By philobean | July 20, 2007
The Ayala Young Leaders Congress is, hands down, the best leadership development program for youth in the Philippines. If you make the requirements, give it a shot and apply.
Visit www.ayalayoungleaders.org.ph to download the Student Application set and for more information on AYLC 2008. Deadline for School Nominations will be on August 24, 2007. Please read write up below.
And, by the way, (ahem ahem) just between you and me, AYLC 2008 promises to be bigger and better than the previous AYLCs, at least budget-wise, being the 10th year anniversary of the prestigious program (winks).
What is AYLC? The Ayala Young Leaders Congress (AYLC) is an annual
summit that brings together 70 of the most promising student leaders
from colleges and universities from all over the country. The Congress
is part of the Ayala Group’s youth leadership development program
called “Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders”, which was launched in December of
1998. The Congress, now on its 10th year, is a three and a half-day
event involving workshops, lectures, outdoor activities, plenary
sessions and group discussions designed to hone the students’
leadership skills and potential.How can I be part of AYLC? AYLC looks for well-rounded students with
effective leadership, academic excellence and a strong love for their
country and their people. If you are a critical thinker, emotionally
mature and independent, and if you can communicate well and are
recognized as an outstanding student leader in your school or
community, then AYLC is for you.Only student leaders graduating in school year 2008-2009 may apply for
the congress. This will allow the student leaders selected for the
Congress to return and serve their schools for another year with the
new skills and renewed motivation they received from the congress. The
qualifications for the Ayala Young Leaders Congress are as follows:(1) FILIPINO citizen, 25 years old or younger by February 2008
Bonafide regular student of the school, scheduled to graduate
in the SY 2008-2009
(2) Undergraduate student pursuing a bachelor’s degree for the first time
(3) Within the top 25% in percentile rank of his/her college

(8) Possess no more than one failing mark for the duration of his/her enrollment in college
(9) Not have been subjected to any disciplinary case in or outside
the campus.
(10) Not have been charged and/or convicted in a civil or criminal caseTo apply, you must (1) accomplish the Student Application Form Set
(ask for a copy from your school or download the form at
www.ayalayoungleade rs.org.ph) and (2) submit this to the designated
officer in your school (this is usually the School President, the
Vice-President for Academics, or the Dean of Student Affairs). From
all the student applications, your School President will choose a
maximum of ten (10) students to nominate to the AYLC. We only accept
applications endorsed by the school. The school will take care of
sending the official school nomination and the application forms to
the AYLC Secretariat in Makati. Do not send your application on your
own or e-mail your application to the AYLC Secretariat as it will be
automatically disqualified.The Secretariat will select 150 candidates for interview from all the
nominations. These candidates will be invited to the Ayala Corporation
headquarters in Makati City for panel interviews with senior
executives from the Ayala group of companies. The panels will select
the top 70 students who will be invited to participate in the 10th
National Ayala Young Leaders Congress on 5 - 8 February 2008 at the
San Miguel Corporation – Management Training Center in Alfonso,
Cavite. Ayala will take care of transportation as well as board and
lodging for the interviews and for the congress.If you have any questions about AYLC, please contact the AYLC
