| Volunteer in China
China is the oldest uninterrupted major world civilization, with records dating back over 3,500 years. This wonderful country is a land of cultural and geographic schisms offering you amazing options of travel and exploration, and volunteering. In China , you can follow the Silk Road, sail down the Yangzi River , and Explore the Dr Seuss landscape of Guangxi Province . It was only a few years ago that China was seen as a mystery to most people. Today, Chinese business, Chinese culture, and Chinese food are part of every day life. Now, the new China offers you glimpses of a growing economy, changing society, new hopes and rich past. IFRE's volunteer program in China is the beginning of a great journey of your lifetime. Presently, IFRE offers two programs in China.
Paid English teaching
Through IFRE's paid English teaching program, you will get the opportunity to live and work abroad at a minimal cost. Instead of paying high fees for lengthy vacations, your native English can generate a monthly paycheck while you work and play abroad. Join the paid teaching project and live rent free in a nice apartment with full accommodations. You will have access to cafeteria meals during the work week and your weekends will be loaded with free time to explore and travel the vast country
Panda Conservation China
Panda Conservation project in China is a great opportunity for any volunteers interested in wildlife conservation and willing to explore the many issues currently facing endangered species. Panda conservation began in China during the 1940s. This effort was initially restricted to field research. In 1963, the Chinese government created Woolong as a forest reserve. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has been working with the Chinese government on panda protection since 1980. Panda conservation management plans are attempting to increase the pandas' chance for survival by: reducing human activities in panda habitats, rehabilitating panda habitats, adding additional panda reserves, and strengthening conservation education and public awareness.

Volunteer English teaching
Volunteer English teaching in China focuses on teaching conversational English to Chinese students. IFRE presently works with Chinese public schools; most of them are located in rural parts and serve the kids of farmers and lower class people. Non-native English speakers can also join this project.
