Minnesota Association of Student Leaders
The Minnesota Association of Student Leaders is a student leadership organization.
We are affiliated with the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals (MASSP) as the Division of Student Activities.
We invite you to look around our website and see for yourself how secondary school students are involved in student councils and honor society in the State of Minnesota.

Welcome Back!
As the new school year begins, the Minnesota Association of Student Leaders is thrilled to announce the launch of the 2026-2027 Showcase, “Make Leadership your Masterpiece.” The State Executive Board is already hard at work and this year promises a dynamic lineup of leadership conferences, events, and activities designed to engage and inspire student leaders across the state.
Staying Connected: A Key to Success
One of the ongoing challenges we face is ensuring consistent communication with Student Activity Advisors, particularly when there are changes in advisorship. It is crucial that we maintain updated advisor information so we can effectively share the exciting opportunities available to student leaders. Principals are encouraged to confirm that their advisors are receiving communications from MASL. If any updates are needed, please reach out to me at trisha@massp.org to ensure your students and advisors are staying up to date with new information and resources.
1. New to the Crew? New Advisor Training Opportunity!
If you’re looking for practical resources, fresh ideas, and a supportive network to help make your role easier, this workshop is for you.
Join us on September 15 for a day designed specifically for advisors in their first through third year of advising. You’ll connect with fellow advisors from across the state, collaborate on real-world challenges, participate in engaging activities, and gain valuable tips and best practices from experienced veteran advisors.
As an added bonus, you’ll enjoy a duty-free lunch, giving you even more time to network, ask questions, and leave feeling confident and inspired for the year ahead. Click on the flyer to register.
2. Don’t Forget to Renew Your 2026–27 MASL Membership!
If you haven’t already, please take a moment to renew your 2026–27 MASL membership so you and your students don’t miss out on all that MASL has to offer! Click on the MASL logo to sign-up.
Your membership provides access to the Members Only section of our website, including resources and the opportunity to connect with our statewide network of activity advisors. The “Question from a Member” feature allows you to reach out to fellow advisors across Minnesota for ideas, advice, and support and is available exclusively to current members.
A current MASL membership is also required to:
- Attend Division, State, and National events
- Run students for positions on State and National Boards
- Access opportunities for event scholarships
- Apply for available post-secondary scholarships
Your MASL membership is more than access to events. It connects you and your students to a statewide network of student leaders and advisors, valuable resources, and opportunities to learn, lead, and grow.
4. Does your school have a Leadership Class?
With our partnership with Jostens, we are looking for schools that currently have, or are looking to develop a leadership class at their school. There are a number of resources that we would love to get in your hands and curriculum that works for you! Please email me the name of the teacher instructing the class and I will reach out to them individually at trisha@massp.org.
