Volunteer Programs in Shanghai, China

Volunteer in China and discover the Middle Kingdom from a completely different point of view. The massive country offers almost too many incredible sights to explore: from the megacities of Shanghai and Bejing to ancient temples, the Great Wall and the most spectacular natural sights, China will leave you absolutely stunned. A unique opportunity for volunteers in China is working with pandas. Even though the fluffy black-and-white giants are China's trademark wildlife, their numbers are declining and make conservation volunteering all the more necessary.

Make a difference where it is most needed while exploring one of China's most successful and modern cities, Shanghai. The placement is at an orphanage center in a children’s hospital, where injured and sick orphans are sent to receive better medical treatment. These children come from other orphanages in rural areas and, with your love and care, you can help them through their recovery. Volunteer responsibilities include: * Assist with daily operations such as preparing food, serving meals, cleaning, and arranging activities for the children * Teach English to the center staff. As a reputable orphanage in Shanghai, it receives loving overseas parents who want to adopt Chinese children. If you can help improve the staff's English skills, we can see a brighter future for the orphans as there will be more thorough communication between them and potential adoptive parents. Requirement: 18-55 years old Conversational English Medical report Police check Approximate volunteer hours: 35 hours per week Duration: 2-12 months Program fees: From $150
