Posted by cschedlich on May 10th, 2012 · UNSW organised, Volunteer

If you’re looking to get some international exposure, but you only have 6-8 weeks to spare, AIESEC UNSW can offer you the opportunity to make a social impact whilst living a cross-cultural experience through our Global Community Development Program (GCDP).

The timing of the Global Community Development Program is highly flexible and can be undertaken alongside travel and other international pursuits. Interested in getting on board?
