Ready, Set, MAUI!
Study Tour Adventure to Include Service Project at
The Maui Farm

Tapping back into giving back and community values of AIESEC, our AIESEC Life 2023 Study Tour in Maui group will be lending hands-on volunteering work for The Maui Farm. This nonprofit provides farm-based, family ohana-centered programs with essential life skills training for self-sufficient living.

Their property houses families of moms and children from domestic violence situations, often otherwise homeless, and educational experiences to get back on their feet, feed the families, and provide healing to the women and children. The nonprofit further provides job readiness and skills training for parents re-entering the workforce, as well as farm-based programs for the greater community. Field trips and farm tours in support of their school and community gardens help promote positive experiences with people, plants, and animals.

During the Maui Domestic Study Tour, February 17-21, AIESEC Life will help them to establish and plant a new area of the farm, called The Garden of Hope. Their goal is to populate it with thousands of flowers, some seasonally changed out, to create a beautiful, welcoming space and first impression along the outer perimeter of the educational farm portion of property. As the first place visitors and residents will see when they enter the farm, they aim for it to be a celebration of strength, spirit, and resilience of the families in their programs. And represent a place where their supporters, like us, will become a living part of their mission.

The Maui Farm is always in need of donations. We are excited to support them in a few weeks and have created a Facebook Fundraiser for the cause. There are no processing fees through Facebook so 100% of your donation will go directly towards the farm through a check made out from AIESEC Life.

Even if you couldn't join us on the Study Tour this time, please consider donating to The Maui Farm! If you are interested in sponsoring our volunteers' lunch after their work is complete, please email Jennifer.

DONATE NOW TO THE MAUI FARM!

 

AIESEC Life Needs YOU!

Looking for Hub Teams Around the Country to
Boost Engagement


After our very successful Friendsgivings over the holiday season, we had numerous alumni inquiring about more in-person events. We would love that! But we need everyone's help.

As we strive to increase engagement around the country, we hope to have "Hub Teams" in different cities this year. These "Hub Teams" will be the point of contacts in each city and will work with the AIESEC Life team to create and organize local events. These events can range anywhere from a Saturday morning hike, a backyard BBQ, a community service project, or a happy hour at a local bar. It is always fun to meet new AIESECers and reconnect with old friends so let's get started!

If you would like to form a team of alumni in your city to start, or revive a Hub, please reach out to our Hub Coordinator, Georgina Saldana. Georgina can guide you in the right direction and help promote your gatherings within your community.

Let's go TEAM!

Happy 75th AIESEC!
Get Ready for an Exciting Year!

A Message from Alysha Alva, AIESEC International, VP Public Relations

As we embark on our AIESEC’s 75th year, it is our duty to reflect on our past, celebrate our stories of impact and dream about the future of our organization.

When creating this campaign, we looked at what current and past members of AIESEC cherish the most. We found that when people look back at their AIESEC experiences, one thing always comes to mind; the memories, stories and connections they made through AIESEC. This campaign strives to highlight this very concept: the vivid leadership stories of AIESEC.

For 75 years AIESEC has created a legacy

For 75 years, AIESEC has created youth leaders

For 75 years, AIESEC has made an impact

Let’s unite as an organization to amplify our stories and showcase 75 Years of Vivid Leadership!

 

We All Love Stories. We All Love AIESEC.
We all love AIESEC Stories!

Please join us for our first "Cocktails & Conversation: The Legacy Hour" on February 23 at 7 pm ET. We will be kicking off our 75th Anniversary of Storytelling! This virtual event will be a fun, interactive hour of sharing some of our favorite memories in AIESEC.

Grab your favorite drink, log on and bring you favorite story to share or just listen! Not only are we commemorating AIESEC's 75th but we are also reflecting on how we can help AIESEC to thrive for the next 75 years. Please sign up for this free event below!
