Many people visiting another country for an extended period will want to volunteer while they are there, to not only further immerse themselves in the culture but also give back to the people of the country. An ideal place to do this is on an extended visa in the city of Shanghai, China, which has the largest population of any city in the world.

 

Here there are numerous programs available that need volunteers. However, in order to volunteer in Shanghai you must first find the right program for your volunteering interests and skills and then apply to work with them in the time you are visiting. There are a variety of ways to do this. Going online and looking up the available volunteer opportunities in Shanghai is one way; while another is to talk with the Au Pair organization you are working with to help point you in the right direction.

 

Regardless of what you do, your help will be welcomed warmly by the Shanghai locals.
