About Us

Founded in 2016 under the national AYLUS (Alliance of Youth Leaders in the United States), the Basking Ridge Branch was started by a group of passionate American teens who wanted to make a difference in our local community.

We focus on big issues like mental and physical health, senior engagement, and hands-on community service. With over 100 active members, we’ve doubled in size every year and tripled our impact—earning recognition across AYLUS’s 180+ branches nationwide.

We’re here to lead, serve, and inspire—and we’re just getting started.
