ABOUT US

AIESEC is the global youth network impacting the world through leadership development experiences. 

 

Present in over 124 countries and territories and with over 100,000 members, AIESEC is the world’s largest youth-run organisation. We are run by youth, for youth, and we envision ‘peace and fulfilment of humankind’s potential’.

 

AIESEC was founded in 1948 in post-war Europe where a group of young individuals from 7 countries, determined to create change, came together to create an organisation that aimed to “expand the understanding of a nation by expanding the understanding of the individuals, changing the world one person at a time”. 

 

In a world where we face many different global challenges at different times, we believe the solution is to develop responsible and entrepreneurial young leaders today who will choose how the world will be like tomorrow.

 

The way we do this is unlike anyone else in the world. We provide practical leadership experiences by living and delivering international exchange programs that develop leadership in others. In doing so, young people are exposed to a global learning environment where they have the confidence to learn and the freedom to fail. With 65 years of experience, AIESEC is committed to creating change agents that will make a positive impact on society.

 

What makes AIESEC unique is the youth driven impactful experience that it offers to its members.

 

  • Our MEMBERS are part of an exciting, driven global network. They are able to contribute to societal change while exploring their own vision for a positive impact on society.

 

  • We are supported by thousands of partner ORGANIZATIONS around the globe who look to AIESEC to support the development of youth and to access top talent through our global internship program.

 

  • Our ALUMNI are leaders within their organizations and communities. They use the experience, skills and inspiration AIESEC has provided them to be agents of positive change within today’s society.

 

  • We currently have 86,000 members and over 1,000,000 alumni.

 

 

So what will you do to make a difference in your world?

 

 

 

DEVELOP YOURSELF, EXPERIENCE THE WORLD.
