2019 Summer Service and Learning Program in Rural China

The Summer Service and Learning Program in Rural China (SSLP) launched in 2006. Thousands of students and faculty members from both Tsinghua and international Universities were engaged in the program over the past 10 years. The Program brought knowledge, encourage and warmth to the needy children, meanwhile, the participators gained a much deeper understanding of rural China and developed cross-cultural communication skills. Volunteering with SSLP is a rewarding and potentially life-changing experience.

This summer Tsinghua University plan to recruit about 90 Tsinghua volunteers and 45 international volunteers who show a sincere commitment to voluntary work. Volunteers are to be dispatched in 15 teams and perform their teaching service in 15 counties throughout various locations in rural China. Each team will consist of two Tsinghua teacher, six Tsinghua students and three international volunteers. Volunteers can provide diversified teaching services to the local students in those rural counties, including English teaching, culture lectures and intercultural communication exercises, etc.
