The Ateneo Student Leaders Assembly (ASLA) is a program that seeks to develop, nurture, and empower young leaders today, and challenge them to lead with service and make a difference in their own way, in their own communities.

ASLA began in 2002 as a program of the Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral ng mga Paaralang Loyola ng Ateneo de Manila, in response to a fundamental need for leaders leading with a genuine motivation for leadership. Each year, at least thirty-five (35) of the most passionate, driven, and promising student leaders from all Ateneo universities nationwide are selected to be part of ASLA's growing network of leaders. They come together at the annual ASLA congress, designed to inspire and empower individuals who display outstanding leadership potential. They take part in the congress and its various talks, workshops, reflections, and challenges to help them further discover and develop their innate leadership qualities.

ASLA's goal is for its participants to return to their communities and organizations with an even greater desire to serve and do more - and to ripple their own ASLA experiences to others. This call to inspire others to be their own servant leader continues, even beyond their years in school. In keeping in touch with the ASLA community, ASLAns are constantly challenged to do more and be more, and to extend their leadership towrds contributing to the development of our country, allowing them to have a greater stake in society.

ASLA alumni have gone on to assume key leadership roles in their own communities and organizations, and have contributed greatly to its development through their service and leadership. Many have become, or are currently heads of their student organizations, involved in socio-civic activities, active in their parish as youth leaders, or officers of their student governments.

They carry with them the responsibility of continuing ASLA's mission of forming true leaders. Ultimately, ASLA envisions itself as a community and network of servant leaders creating positive change in one's own sphere of influence, with the dream of establishing a culture of leadership in our society.
