China
"Doing this project has definitely broadened my understanding of the world and the need to help others on a global scale. It gave me a chance for a hands-on experience to contribute and hopefully improve the students' expectations of themselves."Robbie Moore, Volunteer in China

Volunteer Work Placements in China
Volunteer work is always in partnership with one of CCS' Partner Programs from the local community. Your placement is based on your skills, interests, and the needs of the community. Common placements in Xi'an include:
- Schools for children with special needs: Volunteers help staff care for children in a daycare-like setting.
- English schools: Many volunteers work at a local language training center where they help improve the children's English pronunciation through teaching songs and rhymes.
- Regional history museum: Volunteers help teach English to tour guides and staff, translate the museum's literature into English, and tutor English for special purposes.
- Medical school for the Chinese army: Volunteers teach English to the students and discuss cultural and current events. Many of the students will go on to use English in their medical work.
Specialized placements in the health field are available for medical professionals only. For more information, click here.
