Help decide.
Twice a year a jury decides which Local Committee projects we fund. We are looking for members who want to be part of that decision.
What this is about
Every semester Local Committees can submit projects that involve alumni and move exchange forward. They write a project plan, pitch it — and a jury decides which projects get funded, and with how much. The details are on the page about LC project funding.
This jury is meant to be staffed by members. Because it is about more than yes or no: the active AIESECers should get usable feedback on their project plan, from people who have done this kind of thing before. And where it works out, that turns into support beyond the session.
What we are looking for
You read project plans and listen to pitches. What gets assessed is what the LCs have to bring: alumni actually involved, a well-thought-out budget including risks, a realistic timeline, a marketing plan and measurable goals.
More important than the judging, though, is the feedback. So anything that turns into concrete advice is useful — your own project experience, an eye for budgets, an understanding of marketing, or simply remembering what LC work feels like.
What it takes in time
The jury sessions are held in late September and late March — that is when the LCs pitch. If you take part, you need to be available on those two dates, plus the preparation of reading the submitted project plans.
That is the whole commitment. If more comes of it because you want to keep supporting a project, that is welcome — but it is not expected.
Applying — to follow
How the application works and what we select on is something we are still working out. As soon as it is settled, you will find it here.
