AIESEC
Caretaker: AIESEC, established over 50 years ago, contributes to the development of countries and their people with an overriding commitment to international understanding and cooperation. AIESEC encompasses a global network of 50,000 members across more than 83 countries and territories at more than 800 universities worldwide. They facilitate an international exchange of students and recent graduates through paid traineeships and volunteer opportunities at non-profit organizations. The organization states: “We, the young people who run this organization, have a hope for something better in the world, and this is a hope that AIESEC tempers with a practical approach." AIESEC believes that each experience abroad unequivocally affects the student — and in turn the world — for the better.
The John Ernest Foundation continues to provide assistance to AIESEC in establishing, building and maintaining an alumni association that brings together 50 years of experience and expertise. To achieve this goal, TJEF receives donations to underwrite its administrative and travel budget for three AIESEC consulting trips each year. To learn more about AIESEC, please visit their comprehensive website.
Under the auspices of AIESEC United States, Morocco, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, the Salaam Program is a joint initiative with the American State Department designed to increase the amount of student exchange between the Arab world and the United States. TJEF’s first intern using this program should arrive in California next year.
