Our vision: Peace and the fulfilment of humankind’s potential.
To achieve this vision we seek to engage and empower every young person and expanding youth leadership through practical experience and exchange.
What is AIESEC ?
AIESEC is a global platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential. We are a non-political, independent, not-for-profit organisation run by students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education. Its members are interested in world issues, leadership and management. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion or national / social origin.
Since we were founded, we have engaged and developed over 1,000,000 young people who have been through an AIESEC experience. The impact of our organisation can be seen through our alumni who represent business, NGO and world leaders, including one Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Martti Atisaari of Finland.
Youth-run organization
We are a global network of young leaders under the age of 30 who strive to better themselves and the communities around them. We are passionate about world issues, leadership development, cultural understanding and experiential learning.
The organisation spans 126 countries and territories and every aspect of AIESEC’s operations are managed by students and recent graduates.
We have operated in this way since our inception, making us uniquely “by students, for students”, for over 65 years. The global leadership teams are elected by the membership annually.

Why we do it
Our belief is that sustainable, informed and globally-minded leadership can help us solve many of today’s challenges. We provide young people with a global platform where they grow in confidence, gain experience and can perhaps fail but learn fast. They discover what really matters to them while creating a positive social impact.
How we do it?
Every year, we facilitate tens of thousands of life-changing experiences for students and recent graduates. Ranging from professional internships, volunteering experiences, or being a member of AIESEC on campus, we offer young people a chance to discover their leadership potential. Through our extensive partnerships ranging from multinationals to social enterprises, we offer young people the gain valuable skills, networks and competencies for future success.
