What do you know?

A Global Community Development Programme (GCDP) experience is an opportunity for young people to develop entrepreneurial and responsible leadership by creating direct positive impact through an international volunteer experience.

How do we run this programme?We provide international volunteer experiences through which young people develop themselves while empowering individuals, communities or organisations. We focus on areas and issues with the need for direct social impact and sustainable solutions.

What can a young person gain through this programme?With this programme, a young person gains access to AIESEC’s value-based platform, and he or she experiences: A cross-cultural living and working experience The opportunity to create positive societal

impact Personal development

GCDP participants can have different types of volunteer experiences. They may work with organizations or in projects which focus on community development, as long as their experience contributes to their personal development and positive impact on society.

What can an organization gain from this programme?GCDP hosts and partners are organizations which aim to create or support direct positive impact in communities through their activities, initiatives, or projects. With these organizations, we co-create opportunities for young people to develop themselves while providing direct positive impact. How will this be measured on the system?A GCDP experience is counted as soon as an EP is realized to a GCDP experience, which should be on their first day at work. An individual is counted as a GCDP participant as soon as his or her GCDP form has been raised.

Duration of a GCDP experience: 6-78 weeks

Global Community Development Programme

What has Changed from what we know?

Is it the old DT programme?

How is currently being run and how can we run it differently?

Scenarios for Running GCDP

LC Based Projects• LC Project is mainly the TN taker• High School/NGO is supporting not as

TN taker but project supporter• AIESEC is developing and delivering

Project content• Intern is working full time on project.• Working hours not well defined• Requires a lot of HR from LC.

LC Project + NGO• Intern works part time on Project• Project is run together with NGO.• NGO is acting as TN taker• Intern works part time for NGO.• External learning events.• Engages intern around a certain

issue.• Requires considerable amount of HR

LC Project: NGO Work

• NGO is supporting as TN taker• Intern is working full time with NGO.• JD and working hours is defined.• Learnining event.• LC needs HR in sales only not in

management.

• ACTIVITY :- • In pairs, discuss with your partner on how does GCDP happen in your entity and what are the major challenges or benefits of any of the models?

LC Project is run with external organization supporting as TN taker, Sponsor, Providing

Intellectual support(Learning Partner), Providing endorsement

Each Project TN must have defined JD including minimum working hours per week. To be defined
