Studying Chinese youth civil society

Chu Wang '13, Intern

Major: International Relations, Environmental Studies minor

Concentration: Environment and Development

Employer: Chinese Youth Climate Action Network, Beijing, China

The internship in China Youth Climate Action Network Beijing Office was wonderful. This is the first time I have the chance to study the mechanism of a youth NGO closely.

Besides helping them with basic operation, I also became the major editor of the CYCAN yearbook. I was in charge of collecting the material, designing the yearbook, and building up our alumni network.

In the process I learnt much more about the Chinese youth civil society than I expected. It was a great experience!
