The IAI operates in a decentralized model, with the principal organization helping to coordinate and connect each university chapter and university partners with the network and resources it needs to be both successful and effective. We work to ensure that everyone interested in the continent has the opportunity to work directly with stakeholders. Each chapter operates in its own way with varying levels of formality.
Great people are the backbone of any successful initiative, and at the IAI we have immense pride in our selective teams. The IAI gives students the chance to get involved directly into projects that have been created by our African partners. Whether that is being plugged into a team, helping to lead fundraising efforts, or finding yourself on the ground in Africa over your winter or summer break, the IAI aims to equip our members with an experience that will propel you forward in your career.
Our Partners make everything that the IAI does possible. If you want to get involved in Africa, it is the IAI's mission to get you plugged in and connected at the highest level. Working with heads of state, CEOs, social impact leaders, and entrepreneurs, the IAI allows for a wide variety of possible avenues into the African sphere.
