Shenyang - Post Report Question and Answers
What volunteer opportunities are available locally?
A few religious ones, but volunteering is not encouraged by the local government. - Mar 2019
Limited. The local society may seem open, but in some areas, such as allowing foreigners see social needs that the government is not filling, it can be surprisingly opaque. In the context of volunteering, some local authorities may see a foreigner offering to help as an implication that the locals can't take care of their own, which could be seen as a "loss of face" or even a mild insult. - Jul 2016
Not a lot of formal volunteering activities but people are in need everywhere. Some volunteer with disabled kids, teaching English. Others have made touch books for the blind school. Others created a horse therapy group for disabled children. - Aug 2014
Many expats are involved in some organizations like supporting and helping orphans, foster children, etc. - Nov 2013
