Through a 3-way partnership between the PC(USA), Church World Service and the Amity Foundation, Presbyterians can serve as volunteer English teachers in Chinese universities for two year appointments.
There are many ways for Presbyterians in the United States to serve in China and to serve Chinese nationals in the United States. Here are links for both long-term and short-term opportunities.

China is now finishing its second decade of transformation from an ideologically isolated society to one that the Chinese themselves proclaim is "reforming and opening up to the outside world." During these years, China has vaulted into a position of one of the most influential countries in the world. In order to meet their modernization goals, Chinese educational institutions are in great need of foreign teachers and experts. Every year ERRC receives many more requests from universities for teachers of English (and many other fields) than it can possibly fill. We thank God for these open doors for Christians from the West to serve the educated Chinese who will be the future leaders of China. Our teachers live on campus and build relationships with students and colleagues in and out of the classroom. Their lives are simple but filled with the joy of an enriching cross-cultural experience. |
