Opening yourself to the world and the world to Bangladesh
Hi there! Congratulations on taking the first step towards your international leadership experience. Thinking back to a few years when I first took up this international volunteering internship, I never would be have thought how this one step would change me so much. I discovered more about my passions and what was important to me and therefore how I best wanted to spend time moving forward in life. Globally AIESEC does about 30,000 Global Volunteer Exchanges a year and the number one driver behind each of these experiences for us is because we fundamentally Louise | National Head of Outgoing Global Volunteer
believe that youth leadership is the solution to a better world and this can be developed through practical experiences in challenging environments. I invite you to take up your own journey of self discovery - Open yourself to the World and the World to Bangladesh. This booklet will contain some general information about our Global Volunteer program that we hope you find useful. Should you require anything else, please do not hesitate to give us a message on our Facebook Page or a call.
