We got acquainted with the international student association AIESEC - the de facto sister city of Rotarakta. In 2.5 minutes, Sabina Akhmetov, President-Elect of the Almaty Office of Ice Checkers, told us about the huge contribution of AIESEC to the formation of leadership, volunteering and educational exchanges for students around the world.

It can be said that AIESEC is rotary-run RYLA non-stop.

We believe that Rotary's structure for youth affairs - Interact (schools), Rotaract (students and working youth) - Rotary fits perfectly into AIESEC graduates who can find their place in Rotaract for a phased transition to the mature stage of Rotarians.
