IGCDP OPPORTUNITYAIESEC UNIMET

PROUT is a new and comprehensive socioeconomic

theory intended to create opportunity for every human

being to fully develop and constructively express their

physical, mental and spiritual potentials. Current systems

of development are unable to provide this opportunity.

They cannot even ensure the peace, equity, sustainability,

basic necessities, and social unity required for basic

human existence. No amount of reform can change this, as

their limitations stem from their fundamental values.

The Local Chapter has 4 TN oppotunity with the PROUT Research Institute of Venezuela

4. Length of stay: While the length of commitment can vary, the longer a volunteer can stay,

the more effectively they can assist with our projects. Our staff invests time training and

orienting interns, and it takes time for interns to develop personal contacts and learn their way

around the city and country. So the longer you can commit to working with us, the more

inspired we are.
