We are on the very outskirts of Beijing, but things could not be farther from the rush of the city. Time passes slower here. We have time to cultivate friendships and let our hearts break. There’s no way to keep your heart from melting when a two year old with numerous heart surgeries behind him smiles at you.

The New Day Experience
Volunteering in China, you will see a unique picture of one of the world’s most ancient and vast civilizations. China has a colorful and distinctive culture as well as exceptional cuisine, architecture and traditions that date back more than 3,500 years.

Whether you are looking for an opportunity to climb the Great Wall and walk through the Forbidden City, or if you would prefer to experience the quietness of a rural Chinese town, New Day offers what you are seeking.

We are located just an hour from the heart of Beijing, a city busting with unbelievable growth and remarkable history. Our staff is happy to coordinate tours to famous sites, or we can simply help to arrange transportation so you can explore on your own. Weekend travel to other parts of China is also easily accessible from Beijing.

Just a ten minute walk from our front gate is the little farming town of Qingyundian. It is here where you can purchase fresh local produce at outdoor markets and practice your Chinese language skills on friendly villagers. Purchase a bicycle with a basket and a bell from a little shop nearby, and you will soon find yourself in the tangle of vehicles that converge in the town’s main intersection.

A volunteer experience with New Day means you can experience being in a massive city that is rich in culture, but you can also become a part of a small and intimate community -- the sort of community that most foreigners never have the chance to see when coming to China
