Be a Part of Something Big
The best way to become a part of something big is to volunteer. Volunteering empowers you to develop essential skills, foster connections, and make meaningful contributions to the community and global events.
The Federation is excited to present a unique opportunity for a select number of young people to volunteer at the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE). The delegation will be held from 1 to 11 November 2025 and is supported by the "HYAB Funding Scheme for Youth Exchange in the Mainland".
The lucky 20 volunteers will provide vital reception and guidance services to international guests, ensuring the Expo runs smoothly. Through their participation, they will be able to both brush up on their language skills, and deepen their understanding of international relations by learning how the CIIE impacts the national economy, as well as the global landscape. They will also have the chance to explore Shanghai's rich historical and cultural heritage.
So, we encourage young people to consider joining this prestigious event! This is a wonderful experience for personal and professional growth.
Join us in making the 2025 CIIE a resounding success!
