Our History
AIESEC was founded in Western Europe at the end of World War II in 1948 to promote cross-cultural understanding and youth leadership as a means to avoid another conflict. Since its founding, AIESEC has provided membership experiences to over one million alumni worldwide. Our exchange and membership programs have been endorsed by the United Nations, multiple US presidents, CEOs of multinational corporations and leaders of top-level human development organizations.
Our Endorsements

And since its inception in 1948, AIESEC has contributed to this development by serving as an agent of positive change through education and cultural exchange. In an era of globalization, your programs have helped young people around the world to develop a broader understanding of cultural, socioeconomic and business management issues."
