Volunteer Requirements & Commitments

It's so easy to say yes to becoming a volunteer via the Internet that many individuals sign up to do so before really considering what such a commitment involves.

Before you volunteer to help us via the Internet, consider the following so as to determine whether you can make a commitment:

Regular, ongoing access to the Internet
If you only have access at college, and the semester is about to end; or, if you are about to switch Internet providers or computers, now is probably not a good time to volunteer to undertake a project.
Age and Education
As most readers of our site are middle-aged people who love China and traveling to China, you will probably have at least a bachelor's degree. However, if you are very skilled in writing, this requirement can be ignored.
Writing Skills
Excellent writing skills are essential. As English as your native language, you will have the ability to make our articles more idiomatic.
Spare time
You need to be able to devote time to the task, as once you volunteer, we may send you an article of not less than 500 words per week which could take 2 -3 hours to correct. We expect the article to be returned promptly, within a week. Of course, the volunteer's manager will be very understanding of your job and family commitments, so he/she will send you assignments according to what you feel you can achieve -- but they do count on you to finish assignments you undertake.

If you answered no to any of the above questions, or had difficulty answering some of the questions, perhaps you are not ready for volunteering at this time.

If you answer YES to ALL questions above, you are the very person we are looking for!
