Summer Service Learning Program in Rural China
Since 2006 Wayne State University has partnered with Tsinghua University in Beijing and the Wang Foundation to battle poverty in China. By traveling to China’s poorest regions and providing K-12 students with opportunities to learn and practice English, volunteers have inspired rural Chinese students to study English and other subjects for the national college entrance exam. Five Tsinghua students are paired with two American students and assigned to rural schools throughout China. Volunteers spend approximately two weeks at their respective sites and three days in Beijing both before and after their journey to the countryside. Students are encouraged to conduct research and may receive up to six credits for the experience.
