Join a Committee

Committee participation can provide new skills and practical experience.
Organise Events
IAESTE volunteers may support the organisation of social programme activities for interns. These events are part of the wider volunteer experience and depend on the needs of the relevant committee.

Volunteers may cooperate with people who share similar interests across the network. The official page also states that volunteers may have the opportunity to complete an internship themselves.
