4. Q: If you want to participate in the AIESEC overseas volunteer program, how much is the fee?

A: The cost of participating in the AIESEC overseas volunteer program is 2,500 yuan, of which 500 yuan is the early administrative fee, which will be returned after completing the overseas volunteer program and submitting the report. 2000 yuan is the fund for AIESEC's own business development, which lays the foundation for its daily operation and future development.

The fees collected by us will be used for our organization and management, as well as the operation and development of overseas volunteers, so as to provide more opportunities for young people in China to gain a better international, diversified and comprehensive team leadership experience, thus getting closer to our vision: promoting cultural exchanges among countries and promoting personal development and promotion to the maximum extent. Non-profit organizations do not mean that there is no cost, nor do they mean that they do not charge any fees, because every organization needs financial support for its production, operation and development.

Before going abroad, volunteers need to pay passports, visas and other documents, insurance premiums, air tickets and expenses incurred by living in the local area. The specific amount depends on personal consumption. Overseas branches of AIESEC usually provide accommodation for families, schools and food. Generally speaking, the expenditure of African countries and Central and Eastern European countries is 1 .5-20,000 yuan, and that of Southeast Asian countries is about110,000 yuan.

4. Q: Can I definitely go abroad after paying the fee?

A: No. AIESEC's overseas projects aim to select outstanding students from all countries to participate in projects, volunteers and international exchange activities in other countries. We hope that these outstanding students can tap their potential on the international platform and become future leaders. So we will have a strict process of selecting talents. The specific process is as follows:

Step 1: register online

Step 2: interview screening (the interview mainly examines the applicant's personal ability and quality, and the students who pass the interview are eligible to become our overseas volunteers)

Step 3: Sign the contract.

Applicants who are finally confirmed through interviews will become overseas volunteers and start matching projects after going through administrative procedures.

Step 4: Project Matching

Only by successfully matching the projects of overseas branches can we become real exchange participants (EP) and arrive at the location of the other branch at the appointed time of the project.

5. Q: How to apply for overseas projects?

A: The AIESEC project operates through nearly 1000 university branches and a global database active in more than 1000 countries around the world. Applicants submit their applications online, pass the interview and sign the contract, thus becoming one of the participants in the AIESEC project.

After that, with the help of AIESEC and members of the International Exchange Department (public interest direction), the applicant has the opportunity to see the projects set up by local NGOs or companies contacted by branches of AIESEC in other countries through the database. Applicants submit applications to each specific project they want to participate in according to the requirements, and finally get the qualification to participate in this exchange project after interview and review by AIESEC or NGO.
