Have an experience of a lifetime
Are you seeking a meaningful volunteer experience in one of the liveliest and most intoxicating countries in the world? Volunteer in China, and have the opportunity to experience the land of mystery and one of the world’s oldest civilizations while contributing to society.
China is the meeting of the Yin and Yang; the old and the new, the industrial technology and the traditional culture, the rich and the poor. China may be a country with a booming economy, but it still has a great percentage of people who need assistance. Be a volunteer in China and help those who get left behind in the pursuit of intense development. Teach English and spread the power of knowledge and education to impoverished children at rural areas and help at orphanages which almost always lack resources and manpower. Are you an animal lover? The growing massive population in China meant that the habitats of Giant Pandas will only shrink further. Assist in our Panda Conservation program and care for the majestic animal which is now facing endangerment.

New Hope Volunteer programs begin each Monday of the month. If needed, we can arrange for your program to start at any day.
By doing a quick internet search, you will find that many international volunteer abroad companies are charging as high as $2,500 for just a two-week volunteer program. The unfortunate truth is that most of these companies keep a large portion of your program fees as profit, and very little money ends up at the destination. However, with our low volunteer abroad program fees, not only will you be able to save thousands of dollars, your money will go where it is most needed, that is, for you, to your host families, and your projects. With the exception of our registration fee of $259, which we require for advertising, and to cover daily office expenses and staff salaries, we guarantee that your program fees go directly to the projects and host families.
Here you’ll find the world’s most affordable weekly program fees.

New Hope Volunteer will arrange for the accommodations and 3 meals a day throughout the duration of your volunteer in China program. If you are a vegetarian, please note it as such in the application form so that we can make arrangements for you ahead of time. Most volunteers will stay in our home base during your volunteer period, or with a host family when the home base is full. In the Panda Conservation program, volunteers will stay in a hostel.
Our home base is a secure place for our volunteers to stay in a safe neighborhood. There is a shared kitchen and shared bathrooms, which have running water and western-style toilets and sometimes room-shares. Internet cafes, shops and restaurants are very close by to our home base facility.
Our host families have been carefully screened before being selected to participate in New Hope’s volunteer programs. All of our host families have significant experience accommodating international volunteers. Your hosts will provide you with a warm, comfortable and secure place to stay. You will have a room to yourself and eat 3 local meals together with your host family. Staying with a host family is an excellent language and culture immersion experience. Rest assured that at least one member of the family will be able to communicate with you in English. During the volunteer program, our in-country coordinator will be in touch with you every 10-15 days to make sure you’re comfortable and happy. Volunteers will also have access to a coordinator’s mobile phone to call for assistance should any problem arise.
The hostel in Chengdu is located very close to the panda conservation program in a safe neighborhood. It has bathrooms, running water and western-style toilets.
There are many layers of support available to you while volunteering in China. You will have your in-country coordinator’s mobile number should you need any assistance. You will meet our project staff daily during your volunteer work in China and staff workers will be available in and around New Hope’s home base and hostel to help guide you.
New Hope Volunteers provides very affordable, safe, highly meaningful and flexible volunteer programs in 11 countries of Latin America, Africa and Asia. By enrolling, volunteers are able to immerse in local culture, work to empower and develop poor and needy and travel to fascinating destinations. It’s a deeper and more meaningful way to travel.
