How to Help
China isn’t the easiest place to volunteer in Asia, but there are still opening for foreigners. You could help community programs, cultural and language exchanges, teach, or work with animals. Popular places to participate include Beijing, Xian, Chengdu and Shanghai. If you really want to boost your CV and experience you might like to join internships in China.
Wildlife Conservation Projects
Some animals can only be found in China, therefore visiting the country not only gives you a chance to see some rare species but also the opportunity to help. You can see giant pandas in their natural habitat and apply to join projects helping in places like Chengdu. Visiting the Gobi Desert in Gansu Province will give you an opportunity to see Siberian tigers which are found in this part of the world.

Language
If you are applying to a position advertised in English you will usually only need to be able to speak English. But you could take classes with language schools in China which will make the experience of visiting China easier.
