AIESEC Romania

descripción de la organización:

AIESEC is a youth run organization with over 70.000 members in over 120 countries. Having as main aim “Peace and Fulfillment of human kind potential”, we are running national and international projects aiming to develop leadership skills in young people (between 18 and 30 years old) through international experiences and leadership opportunities.
AIESEC is a global, non-political, independent, non-for-profit organisation, and its members are interested in world issues, leadership and management.
In addition to providing leadership positions and delivering conferences, AIESEC runs an exchange program that enables young people the opportunity to live and work in another country.
In present AIESEC in Romania is active in 14 cities having around 500 members involved in the organization, both taking leadership and membership roles. Just last year the organization provided 1500 exchange opportunities to young people, both sending abroad Romanian students (304) and receiving international youth (1274) in Romania for our AIESEC local projects.
We work, on one hand, with university students, which we aim to actively engage as members of the organization and send abroad on internships and at the same time, students of elementary and high schools, which we engage with our social projects in Romania, by bringing international volunteers (Around 750 volunteers being from EU or candidates countries which impacting around 9000 kids from primary, middle and high schools ).
Our regular activities include different activities. Since we are structured as a company, we have departments such as Human Resources, Finance and Legal Assistance, External Relations, Incoming Exchange and Outgoing Exchange, Marketing and PR. The teams of finance manage the cash-flows, project budgets and track projects sustainability, the human resources recruit members and ensure retention and training of the membership; marketing ensures communication strategies overall and guarantees registrations for membership and of students who want to go abroad. The department of outgoing exchange facilitates the process of finding volunteer projects and preparing the students to go abroad while people of incoming exchange department recruit foreign students and prepare them for our local projects. These are our core activities during the year, which we then add on conferences, training, etc.
