Work Abroad with Alliance Abroad

____________________________________________________________________

Our programs outside of the USA are now under the umbrella of our new non- profit organization: ASSOCIATION OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXCHANGE.

AIDE was created in 2007 in order to allow Alliance Abroad Group to expand its reach and to give back to the local and global communities, as well as create socially responsible citizens. AIDE now operates independently from Alliance Abroad Group, but continues to draw from its 16 years of expertise and experience in program management and support.
