Volunteering in Hong Kong

Resource to share:
It is getting easier to volunteer in Hong Kong. You can now go to www.ho-sum.org and find one-time or on-going volunteer opportunities. To participate, you have to become a volunteer member first. All projects posted on the website are held by government registered charities, so volunteers will not be "abused" by commercial companies. Have fun volunteering!

Volunteerism is a call from God. Hence, "service to humanity is the best work of life". It is a degree of peace, love, hospitality and the promotion of Globalisation. God bless all volunteers. Love from cameroon

If you're looking to volunteer and don't have a lot of time to spare or are new to Hong Kong and don't know how to start volunteering, check out Hands On Hong Kong (www.handsonhongkong.org).

Hands On is a nonprofit organization that provides flexible volunteer opportunities to busy individuals like you. We partner with local charities that work with children, people with special needs, the elderly, immigrants, and others. Our volunteer activities do not require a long-term commitment. Many of our activities are also in English, ideal for expats, and a great way to meet people with similar interests. Signing up to volunteer is free, easy, and all online!

Let's join international workcamps!!

International voluntary projects where youth volunteers from all over the world work and live together (usually for 2-3 weeks) with local people.

Projects are based on local needs like planting trees, playing with kids, running festivals, etc.

It started in France in 1920 and 3,000 projects in 100 countries were organized in 2007 by NGOs most of that are affiliated in CCIVS UNESCO.

Everyone can join the project!!

We are open to people who lives in Hong Kong,

China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, and more.

US$150 per program to join,

including food and housing.

If you'd like to join the workcamp,

please send inquiry to :nvda-gs@nice1.gr.jp

With your full names, nationality,

and residential country.

Then, we will send you further guidance and the application form.

Eric,

As an Atheist I cannot agree with your comment that volunteering is a call from god.

It is surely a call from one human to another- nothing more nothing less. I want to give of my time and experience so that others may benefit. End of...
