Local leadership:
- Local leadership positions include: President, Vice President, Chief Philanthropy Officer, and Secretary (other positions, such as Committee Chairs, are available upon needs).
- AYLUS encourages students to develop local branches so they may engage in activities within their local communities. Each local branch decides upon its own project and shall receive support from AYLUS and its other branches.
