Migrant children face enormous pressure growing up — often needing to both get high marks in school and to work during off time to support family finances. With such a high level of responsibility and such a young age, these children don’t get much time to open their minds to broader possibilities.
Every week, MCF’s “Beijing Buddies” program sends volunteers to visit disadvantaged schools around Beijing and to teach children of migrant families. If you’d like to teach a class (even just one Friday or Saturday), start by learning more on MCF’s “Beijing buddies” page, then reach out to MFC with your idea for what you’ll teach.
MCF keeps it flexible when it comes to how volunteers can get involved, and is open to receiving help in a form you’re comfortable with — both in-person and remote.
If you’re interest are in education, you could offer to do some curriculum planning, teaching, coaching a team, or any other way of working directly with students. If you live far away or prefer office work, try something you can do remotely, like social media, writing content, translation, merchandising, or research — really anything you like, as long as it fits in with MCF’s needs.
