# Global Volunteer

If we don't change the world, then who will?

### Experience new cultures <a href="#experience-new-cultures" id="experience-new-cultures"></a>

There's nothing quite like being in a brand new country, living and volunteering with people from all around. Imagine the things you'd learn!

### Make your impact <a href="#make-your-impact" id="make-your-impact"></a>

You can make a difference in the world, it starts with that first step. Contribute towards the Sustainable Development Goals and tackle the issues you're most passionate about.

### Push yourself out of your comfort zone <a href="#push-yourself-out-of-your-comfort-zone" id="push-yourself-out-of-your-comfort-zone"></a>

If you don't try and experience new things, you'll never find your full potential. Challenge yourself, and discover the best version of you.

Our Global Volunteer projects around the world exist because as AIESEC, we choose to shape what we do around what the world needs. We have committed to creating a youth movement to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by the year 2030.

This all falls under our Youth 4 Global Goals initiative aimed at activating youth to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

* Engage with all kinds of people towards achieving a purpose bigger than yourself. It's how you can empower others.
* Volunteering abroad isn't easy, but surpassing challenges is what makes it worth it. You learn how to be solution-oriented.
* Making your contribution and seeing your impact in real-time will show you that you can indeed make a difference the world. Become that world citizen that's needed more than ever.
* Going beyond what you know opens up new worlds for you. Find your values, explore your passions, and become more self-aware.
