FEEL FREE TO RUN THE WORLD

EB 26.27 APPLICATION
Lead with fire. Make it real.
My dear Local Committee,

If you’re reading this, it means a spark has already been lit inside you — the desire to step up and join the EB team. Whether you’re feeling sure or still a little unsure, that spark is the beginning of something truly special.

When I first took this step, I had no idea how deeply this journey would touch my life — with unforgettable memories, lifelong friendships, and lessons that stayed with me far beyond any plan or goal.

Being part of the EB team means pushing your limits, staying adaptable, and owning the responsibility not just for yourself but for the future of ENGEC-GUAP. This path will challenge you, bring you moments of pure joy, and help you grow into the leader you are meant to be. More than anything, it’s about creating the best youth for yourself❤️

I know our Local Committee is packed with incredible leaders, and right now, I want to see you lead with fire — pouring your passion, actions, and love into yourself, ENGEC-GUAP, and AIESEC in Russia — to truly make it real.

AIESECly,
Arina
LCP E&G 26.27
