In this volunteering program, participants will primarily focus on teaching English to children ranging from 6 to 18 years old. This role is particularly well-suited for applicants who are fluent in English and can share their knowledge of life beyond China.
The Chinese government has recently mandated that all schools, starting from primary school and beyond, include English as a core subject in their curriculum. However, the shortage of English teachers is impeding this effort.
In addition to teaching basic English, you will engage in activities such as singing songs with the students, playing educational games, and guiding children in various activities including handicrafts, sports, drawing, coloring, and writing.
Through your support of the teachers and their classroom assistants, you will contribute to making English come alive in schools and help children develop an enjoyment for learning and communicating in English.
Accommodation: Guilin is a province in southern China. Our center is nestled amongst mountains on the outskirts of an authentic and rustic village, within a 260-year-old building dating back to the Qing dynasty. The surrounding areas are ideal for hiking, providing picturesque views of the hills and local farmers diligently tending to their fields. The volunteer house is a traditional Chinese building located amidst these mountains.
