Global Citizen

The Global Citizen program enables young people to directly impact communities abroad through volunteer internships, as well as develop themselves personally and professionally by gaining practical skills and by experiencing a new culture.

Global Citizen internships are typically 6-8 weeks and allow youth to make a positive impact in society in the areas of Social Entrepreneurship, Cultural Understanding and World Issues.

Our three issues

AIESEC provides exchange participants with opportunities to develop professional skills in new cultural settings. Our volunteers gain hands-on experience working with NGOs and small businesses in communities to develop relevant and culturally suitable solutions to local problems. Projects surrounding this issue may be in the fields of marketing, microfinance, NGO management, social business, or organizational development.
Over 45 % of the world’s population is under 25 years old. AIESEC allows exchange participants to engage in the development of youth in communities where education and access to literacy is uncommon. While there, volunteers are immersed in the local culture, gaining and offering a global perspective to local communities. Projects in Cultural Understanding are literacy, social work, youth education, or cross-cultural awareness.
Protecting the environment is a major part of the global development agenda and exchange participants can directly impact communities struggling with moving towards becoming a little bit greener. Promote and participate in sustainable development projects regarding energy conservation, pollution, climate change, flora and fauna conservation, recycling, and waste management.
