Volunteer FAQ

a. Can I apply if my English is not very good?
Yes. We have various volunteer positions available for different projects. Not everyone here has to be fluent in English, however, if you can communicate well in English or you are multi-lingual, it will make your work a lot easier at many situations. And we believe your English ( and even Chinese!) will be greatly improved after our events if you are not so good at either language.

b. How do I know if I’m going to be available for the project since I have no idea when the project is going to be?
We will send out e-newsletters to our volunteer database when there is a new project coming, we will state clearly WHEN, WHERE and HOW do we need people to help. You can apply according to your strength, personal schedule and preference. We will confirm with you later on. On top of that, if you can not make it due to different reasons, please do inform us in advance so that we can arrange back-up manpower for your position.

c. What does ShanghaiExpat offer to volunteers?
If you want to make money, volunteer projects is definitely not the project you want, however, this is going to be a perfect platform for you to know a lot of interesting and even important people. We also provide you a great opportunity to show your talent and capability.

Fancy restaurant coupons and free tickets to fun parties and ShanghaiExpat souvenirs will be given out every now and then. We will offer out-standing volunteers Excellent Volunteer Certificate and long-term volunteer assignments in more exciting ShanghaiExpat events.

Out-standing volunteers will also be taken as priority candidates for paid part-time jobs, internships or even full-time positions in ShanghaiExpat!

d. Can I bring my friends?
Absolutely! As long as you think your friend is suitable for the project, bring him or her in! We will screen all the application before we make final confirmation.

e. Can I quit if I don’t want to get any more information about the project?
Yes. Sending people information that they don’t want at all is the least thing we want to do. If you no longer want to get project update from us, please drop us an email and we will delete you from our database.

If everyone would feel more comfortable writing Chinese, perhaps they should just write Chinese?

Well you can tell your boss Mike that I have been doing that for years never got any coupon!!!!!

^Yes but much of what you have considered content was largely inflamatory bigoted crap. But having lived in China so long, and possibly due to your background, one is never really sure, you either don't get it (doubtful given your intelligence, obviously you do), or you don't care (misguided intelligence. sad. bingo).

Your repeated references to Michael as "Mike" would be like me referring to you as no. get off it eh?
