My name is Kevin, I am an American university student who volunteered with Projects Abroad this past summer. It was an amazing experience, and I would 100% do it again given the opportunity. Even before departure, Projects Abroad made sure I was okay and prepared by frequently checking in and answering any questions. Upon arriving in Shanghai, I was warmly greeted by two workers who oriented me to the city. I felt like the placement Porjects Abroad gave me was exactly what I was looking for and as depicted on their website. I had an amazing time and fell in love with Shanghai. I met some of the best people there and I still am good friends and keep up with the staff and fellow volunteers of Projects Abroad and at my placement. Projects Abroad is an organization I definitely recommend. They will listen to your needs and make you feel welcome wherever you are in the world!
