When your parents see how AIESEC shapes your future, “Can I go?” becomes “You should go.”

A common concern every parent has whenever their child tells them, “I want to volunteer abroad” is how safe your journey will be.

They often ask:

“Is it safe?”
“Who’s going to look after you there?”
“Shouldn’t you focus on your studies?”

These are valid concerns but once they discover AIESEC, their worries fade away for AIESEC is not just about travels. It is a globally recognized youth leadership program entrusted by universities and organizations across the globe for over 75 years.

AIESEC has been easing those worries for over seven decades!

Whether it is for teaching, environmental conservation or community development, your journey abroad is safe with AIESEC because their every project undergoes a thorough verification process where volunteers get connected to global organizations aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

AIESEC also supports you every step of the way. They will help you with paperwork and preparation and the local AIESEC committee abroad will take care of you from the moment you take your first step in the foreign land to the moment you say goodbye. There will be orientation sessions, clear safety protocols, and continuous check-ins throughout your stay to ensure your safety.

The time you spend volunteering will be no vacation but a transformative journey that shapes and guides you to drive change, challenge yourself and contribute to the development of society.

Show your parents it’s worth it!
