What our China volunteers say...

 Robert, Germany: I traveled to "Huang Shan" (Yellow Mountain)... the Yellow Mountain is one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen!

 Wing, Hong Kong:  At the end of class, some students came to me and said, "I love you, hope to see you again, safe back home, you are my good teacher", and so on. My eyes were turning red...

 Anna, Germany:  The students are crazy about the volunteers :-) They fall in love with each of you, they run behind you, scream: "Hello!! Hello! Or Good Afternoon!"...

 Annemarie, Holland:  The teachers were very helpful and friendly. Every day, the children gave me a warm welcome when I entered the class room.

 Henry, Canada:  How do I even begin to describe an amazing once in a lifetime experience?

 John, USA  ...had one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Hanneke, Holland: All in all, volunteering in China was a great experience which I will remember all my life.

Martin & Kaye, Australia:  SuZhou is a great blend of the very old, the old, the not so old, the new and the very modern...

or to participate in a Chinese high school exchange program. Our Singapore program is just ramping up and will offer volunteer and culture visit opportunities in Singapore.

Xu Bo also places volunteers from China and Singapore in sixteen different foreign countries such as Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Peru, and the United States. These progams include culture visits, overseas volunteer projects, foreign internships, and foreign high school exchange programs.

Xu Bo's mission is to:

Provide opportunities for foreign volunteers to experience China and its rich cultural heritage while contributing to its continuing development.
Provide opportunities for Chinese and Singaporean volunteers to intern or volunteer in foreign countries.
Provide educational assistance and other support in poorer parts of China where education budgets are limited.
Promote understanding across cultural boundaries through meaningful education programs.
Allow foreign volunteers and interns to experience the vibrant life of Singapore

Why Volunteer With Xu Bo?

Xu Bo has been running volunteer programs for over four years and has developed close relationships with many public and private schools in several different areas of China. We have an experienced staff who understand the difficulties of transitioning to Chinese and/or Singaporean cultures and who are there to help the volunteers adjust to the cultural changes so that they make a meaningful and satisfying contribution. If you are looking for an opportunity to volunteer or teach in China, to volunteer in Singapore, or to visit or volunteer in a foreign country, we will find you a rewarding assignment and help you make your dream come true.

A Word on Volunteering

Xu Bo has worked hard to successfully establish strong relationships with the schools and institutions that accept and welcome our volunteers. These institutions allocate important resources to provide a supportive and comfortable professional environment for the volunteer, one in which the volunteer can make the most of this special opportunity for cross-cultural exchange. Volunteers in our program are making an important professional commitment and are expected to fully dedicate themselves to their assigned tasks. Read more...
