About our vision:
It is every young person’s responsibility to take a positive role shaping the future of our society and locality. We believe every young person deserves the chance, and tools, to fulfill their potential.
We provide young people with self-driven, practical, global experiences. We enable them to see the world, make a real difference and discover what truly matters to them.
In addition to providing leadership positions and delivering conferences, AIESEC runs a global exchange program that enables young people the opportunity to live and work in another culture and country.

About AIESEC in Latvia:
AIESEC in Latvia is one of the members of the AIESEC global network. Our organization exists since 1995.
Every year we are providing around 50 volunteer leadership opportunities through our membership program, more than 60 exchange opportunities for students and recent graduates. For our local and exchange volunteers to prosper, we organize at least 4 national conferences every year, on top of an annual "Youth To Business / YouthSpeak Forum". Given our approximately 800 alumni, who support the sustainability of the organization through advice and capacity building, we can build on a long tradition of facilitating quality incoming and outgoing youth exchanges. Thus, our stakeholders are students from Latvian universities, international interns, our national partnering organizations (both from the corporate and non-corporate sector), Latvian universities and high schools Latvia and alumni of AIESEC in Latvia.
AIESEC in Latvia is comprised of the National Board (with 5 full time staff members) below 24 years old and 3 local chapters from different cities in Latvia. Every local chapter is led by an executive board comprised of 5 students and recent graduates (recruited from the universities in Latvia) and approximately 45 members working on volunteer basis, each year. Moreover, the National Board is assisted by a volunteer team called National Support Team, which consists of AIESEC members with more experience, that help the National Board manage and run the organization’s projects and coach the local chapters. Except the full time staff members, every member of AIESEC in Latvia and AIESEC local chapters work on a volunteering basis, part-time, and develop their leadership potential by creating internship opportunities for other students and recent graduates.
AIESEC’s main target group are students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education, students in high school, the corporate and the non-corporate sectors in Latvia, as well as other governmental and non-governmental institutions in Latvia.
