Every year, we arrange at least two service trips that take Yale students to perform educational service in rural China. We work closely with community service organizations in top Chinese universities such as Peking University, the University of Hong Kong, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
For the past few years, we have partnered with Yali Middle School students to teach during our spring break trips. In the summer, we lead trips in August together with Chinese universities. |
