Mar27 (FULL) Volunteer - Wide Horizons for Children China Culture Camp

**SORRY THIS EVENT IS CURRENTLY FULL**

Are you interested in working with children and teens while learning about the Chinese culture? Please join NAAAP Boston, as we work with Wide Horizons for Children (WHFC) who is hosting their 9th Annual China Culture Camp.

Wide Horizons for Children is the largest, private non-profit adoption and child welfare agency in New England, and among the largest in the US. Since 1974, they have placed over 10,000 foreign world country children with long, permanent families.

NAAAP Boston Community Service has worked with WHFC with their China and Korea Culture Camps.  All of our past volunteers have enjoyed volunteering at the Culture Camps as it is a great way to interact and teach children and teens their birth-culture and meet others of their heritage.
