About the Peace Corps

Where Do Volunteers Go?
Asia / China / Work Areas

Currently, all Volunteers in China are engaged in English education. Volunteers in China are able to gain skills and experience teaching at the university level, learning to speak Chinese, and in further understanding the Chinese culture. In addition to teaching, many Volunteers are also involved in secondary projects such as building educational resource rooms, creating student newsletters, working with nongovernmental organizations, running student English camps, and more. Volunteers live and work on university campuses.

English Education and Resource Development

Volunteers teach English to students at teacher training colleges, work to improve the English language skills of their fellow faculty members, and develop resource materials.
