Global Citizen
Become a Global Citizen today! Through AIESEC, you have the opportunity to dive into a foreign culture and immerse yourself while doing a life-changing program such as teaching young children in China, environmental sustainability projects in Argentina, or HIV awareness in Africa. Each Global Citizen program lasts between 6 weeks and 5 months, with flexible dates to fit your busy schedule. Global Citizen is most popular during summer breaks, but can be done at any time of the year.
Our Global Citizen programs have four main subcategories, but the opportunities are endless. Work with a start-up or NGO doing Social Entrepreneurship, helping businesses to grow in their foreign market. You'll gain valuable business experience in an international setting, expanding your professional skill sets, resume, and global perspective. Passionate about saving the earth? Make an impact globally through our Environment Program by helping promote sustainable development. Make an impact on the youth of the world through the Education program in a wide range of subjects. You'll learn as much as you teach. Through our Cultural program, you will be an ambassador for cross-cultural understanding. Starting the dialogue between cultures is the first step towards cooperation and a more tolerant world.
