Global Volunteer
6-8 Weeks Volunteering Opportunties
On September 25th 2015, 193 world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals. In line with the SDGs, AIESEC initiated Youth For Global Goals (Y4GG) with the aim to activate the leadership potential of youth around the world.
This is what we mean by activating leadership through leadership. Through Global Volunteer, we engage and mobilise young volunteers to contribute to purposeful and cross-cultural projects across the globe. These projects are designed to contribute to a respective SDG, such as quality education (SDG 4) or partnership for the goals (SDG 17).
Our on-campus local chapter volunteers are available to help facilitate the best volunteering experience for you. You can find out more information via our ‘Contact Us‘ page.
Our programme connects students and recent graduates to volunteering projects across the world, all facilitated by our student members who work to produce the best exchanges possible for you.
Conditions vary by country and project. Accommodation may be provided either with a host family or in a trainee flat. Some projects may include some transport or meals, ensure you check out the information for the specific opportunity.
All volunteering projects are unpaid and as such, you would need to be able to support yourself financially for flights and living costs abroad.
