Volunteering has become an increasingly important part of the holistic development of high school students. At GHCIS, we recognize the transformative power of volunteering and are committed to providing our students with ample opportunities to serve.

GHCIS offers a diverse range of volunteer programs that cater to various interests and skills.

Our academic initiatives include peer tutoring, where senior students provide subject-specific support to their younger schoolmates, as well as opportunities to serve as Chinese teaching assistants for foreign teachers and volunteer in the biology and chemistry laboratories, assisting with equipment maintenance and reagent preparation.

For students passionate about environmental sustainability, our energy conservation program engages volunteers in tasks such as turning off lights and air conditioning in empty classrooms and promoting eco-friendly practices on campus.

In the realm of cultural exchange, GHCIS volunteers can participate in educational support programs, making a tangible impact in rural areas of China where educational resources are often scarce, as well as serve as tour guides and docents at the Tongzhi Hall and Wufeng Academy, sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with visitors.

Our event planning and logistics team plays a crucial role in supporting the school's various cultural and sports events throughout the year, ensuring their smooth execution and success. Volunteer positions are also offered at the Encounter Cafe and Lawson convenience store, where students assist with tasks such as organizing shelves, working the cash register, and providing customer service during school events and activities.

Looking ahead, GHCIS is dedicated to upholding its pioneering spirit by continuously expanding and diversifying its volunteer offerings. We strive to provide an even richer array of opportunities that align with our students' passions and interests. By fostering a culture of innovation and creativity, we encourage our volunteers to think outside the box and develop novel approaches to problem-solving. Through these efforts, we aim to inspire our students to become compassionate, proactive leaders who will continue to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.
