WHAT IS AIESEC?

With more than 90.000 members in 126 countries, AIESEC is the biggest student-run organisation in the world. This

has not always been the case. We grew from the collaboration and efforts of students from seven countries in 1948,

who believed that teaching the next generation about responsible leadership would be the solution to the global

threat of war.

In 2017, AIESEC is an international platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential. At

AIESEC, we believe that if we select young, smart people and help them in becoming global-minded leaders, the

positive impact we can have together is enormous. In order to have this impact, we offer international exchange

experiences that increase cross-cultural understanding, which can be either professional or voluntary.

To accommodate this service, we select talented and ambitious young people for our board. These board members

enable the impact this organisation has on people, and we would love to see you becoming one of them. A summary

of our mission, vision and projects can be found here1! Of the 90.000 members AIESEC has globally, approximately

300 of them are based in the Netherlands. AIESEC in the Netherlands consists of 11 committees.
