Activating leadership since1948

There are thousands of opportunities offered around the world facilitated by AIESEC; the ones on our site are just a sampling of what we can help you find. Once you have an idea of the types of internships you would like to go on, scroll down and fill in an application. If you can't find an internship on this site and are still excited by the prospect of a truly integrated international experience, mention on your application that you haven't yet found the perfect internship and we will work with you to find one in our 126 countries and territories.

You will be contacted within days of applying to find a time to interview. If an in-person interview is not feasible, we can also set up a phone or skype interview depending on what works best for you. If you are qualified, you may have an additional interview with the organization or business that you want to intern at.

If accepted, we will help prepare you to go abroad through a special preparation seminar, support getting a visa, providing you with our international emergency service, finding your tickets, and securing housing if it is not already provided.

AIESEC (pronounced eye-sek) was originally an acronym for Association Internationale des Étudiants en Sciences Économiques et Commerciales. AIESEC is no longer used as an acronym but simply as the name of the organization.

Members of AIESEC are known as “AIESECers.”

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 organization 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.

Our volunteers come with a modest administration fee that enables our national staff to help us facilitate the process of sending you abroad.

AIESEC's Global Volunteer program has a program fee of $500. This fee includes all of the services and support you'll receive from AIESEC, and, project depending, your housing and some meals during the work day. Participants will be housed either with other participants or with a certified host family. Program fee does not include flights, insurance, or visa costs.

To start your experience, you'll need to apply using the form above. An AIESEC representative will reach out to you once your profile is created, and they will assist you with any questions you'll have or support you'll need throughout the process.
