GLOBAL VOLUNTEER

Project Nature: Based on the SDGs

WHY VOLUNTEER

WITH AIESEC?

When you embark on your GV project, you join an internationally renowned network of young leaders that have been contributing back to these programmes for many years. Aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs), these projects are meaningful and sustainable.

The 6-8 weeks period of the project gives you the perfect opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the local culture and experience living abroad on your own.  

On your free days or after project hours, you may spend your time exploring the country on your own, with friends embarking on GV projects in the country or with the locals.

Really want to do a project on environment sustainability but can't seem to find one? Fret not, under the GV programme, you get the final say on the type of project and country destination.

TESTIMONIALS

“Coming on this trip allowed me to see a side to Thailand that I never knew - beyond the bright lights of Bangkok, the bustling night markets of Chiang Mai, the serene beaches of Pattaya .. lies the welcoming hearts of the Thai people. I received nothing short of the most overwhelming hospitality here in Phichit, a province that no one outside Thailand knows. In a completely foreign land, my host offered me help whenever I need it, and my students make me look forward to school every day."

— Levonne Goh, Year 1 Political Science Major
