As a volunteer, you must have the spirit of helping others and be willing to work in a strange environment with different cultures and climatic conditions for a long time. For China citizens, to apply for volunteering abroad, they must have a bachelor's degree or above, have more than five years' practical experience in the applied field, and be able to work independently in foreign languages (English and French). Those who have worked abroad are preferred. If you apply to be a national volunteer in China, the basic requirements are bachelor degree or above, more than five years of relevant work experience and proficiency in English. Foreign citizens who apply to work in China as international volunteers are required to be in good health, have a certain academic background (undergraduate, master or doctor), have more than five years of work experience, be proficient in English and speak Chinese is preferred.

Identify the country you want to go to. This is very important. Everything needs methods and means. Just like applying to become an international volunteer, it is very important to know the country you want to go to, and you need to make relevant plans. Instead of feeling or thinking or simply liking to go to this country, you should judge according to the purpose of your volunteering, your ability (language, specialty) and preferences.

Determine the mode of participation. According to your own plan, make clear the type of project you want to be a volunteer and determine the way you want to participate. There are many ways to volunteer, some through vagrancy, some through intermediary, and some through self-application. Either way has its own advantages and disadvantages. If conditions permit, I suggest that you choose a commercial organization to help you complete it, especially for students who go abroad for the first time or have poor language and independence. Safety is the most basic condition for us to be volunteers, which is very important. On the contrary, if you have relevant experience, we recommend experienced students to help themselves as much as possible.

Find relevant volunteer projects and sign up. If you participate in international volunteer projects through commercial organizations, what you need to do is to determine what kind of volunteer projects, some focus on cultural tourism, some focus on learning (study tour), some are pure experience, and some are professional requirements. Choose a reference volunteer project according to your own ability.

How to solve the problem. When applying to become an international volunteer program, the most common problems are actually visa application, fees and preparation of relevant materials. These problems are easy to solve. In fact, visa search related content can be solved. As for the fees, we suggest that all applicants should solve them by themselves as far as possible, initiate, keep diaries and take photos through subcontracting projects, and choose projects that are free or charge a small amount of fees. Information is very important to individuals, including: language, solutions to various problems, insurance, cultural differences, gifts, if there is a teaching job, including printing relevant information.

When applying to become an international volunteer project or participate in the project, you will encounter all kinds of unexpected problems, how to solve them, advantages and disadvantages, and many newcomers don't know what to do, so we suggest that all newcomers spend more time and energy communicating with their predecessors who have experienced international volunteers before participating in or applying for the project, especially reading some travel notes and experience summaries written by them.
