AIESEC is the world’s largest youth-led organization developing leadership potential of young
people worldwide. Founded after the Second World War with the vision of achieving Peace and
Fulfillment of Humankind’s potential, AIESEC places its confidence in young people to unlock a
better future for the world and prevent similar conflicts. Present in over 125 countries and
territories with 70,000+ members across 2600 universities, we offer young people life-changing
experiential learning experiences, volunteer and professional internships. Since 1948, we have
developed over one million leaders, including a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Martti Atisaari of
Finland and many prominent world, business and civil society leaders.
AIESEC believes that leadership is the fundamental solution to pressing global issues and the key
to building a better world. That is why we offer advanced leadership framework to young people,
providing them with hands-on experience, practical skills and spaces to reflect, learn and become
the best possible version of themselves. AIESEC develops responsible young leaders who are
self-aware, world citizens, able to empower others and always strive to find solutions.
120+ AIESEC country directors will ensure that AIESEC supports the
implementation of the Global Goals.
Business leaders will provide resources for the projects that will support
implementation of the Global Goals and align their CSR strategies to
current global trends to catch up with modern trends and impact-seeking
millennials.
