Volunteer in China with Projects Abroad and help make a difference in one of the most rapidly developing countries in the world. You’ll contribute to ongoing work that supports the development of disadvantaged communities.
You can teach English to children at rural schools, or help care for the elderly or disabled. You can also learn directly from business professionals at local and international companies, or use this opportunity to learn Mandarin.
You’ll be based in Shanghai with full-time staff, who you can call 24/7 if you need help.
There is plenty to see and do in these urban jungles. You can visit the many buddhist temples and the pristine city parks. Or watch the opera, and try Chinese street food at the many local markets. Of course, no trip is complete without a visit to the Great Wall of China.
