In addition to your work assignment, study abroad program, or travel schedule, you can volunteer with IHC and make a real difference in the lives of Chinese children, teens, adults, and the elderly alike. You can participate in a number of different activities including: teaching, child/infant-care, health-care, building & house construction, or simply donate to a specific program, child, or family of your choice. Volunteer for a few hours a day or devote months at a time, whichever you prefer. We’ve teamed up with the following organizations, but if you’d like some more options or you have questions about getting involved somewhere, contact us and we’d be happy to help.
Compassion for Migrant Children (CMC): Children Education
Compassion for Migrant Children (CMC) is a collaborative effort to provide a framework within which organizations, individuals, and companies can express their care for children of migrant workers. Its uniqueness lies in the strength that multiple mature humanitarian partners bring to the table. CMC also engages the Chinese government and local educational officials for greater and longer lasting impact.
