LoveLife | Volunteer/Paid Internship

"LoveLife: The Search for Young Social Entrepreneurs," was created by AID FOR AIDS, International. The campaign is based on our belief that many young people today have innovative ideas that have the potential to change the world, but unfortunately, they often lack the resources to implement their ideas. At AFAI, we have created the LoveLife search to find and support these young change makers.

The LoveLife competition is open to anyone between 16 and 25 years old. The entrant registers as a competitor and works on a project that will spread awareness and raise funds for HIV/AIDS efforts. Throughout the competition, the LoveLife staff is available to competitors as a guide and a resource. The money raised by individual participants will go directly to HIV/AIDS patients at home and abroad. Toward the end of the competition, five finalists will submit a proposal for expanding their ideas into full-fledged campaigns. The winner of the competition will be selected according to the implementation of the essential LoveLife components: creativity, awareness, and self-sustainability.

The winner will receive a paid internship in the summer of 2010, in our New York headquarters, or in one of our five satellite offices in Latin America. Additionally, he or she will receive a seed investment of $25,000 to expand their idea into a full-fledged, self-sustaining campaign. The investment and paid internship will be an excellent opportunity for this promising young social entrepreneur to implement the initiative s/he proposed at the close of the competition.
