Yale-China Association Student Programs
Among the many rewarding aspects of Yale-China’s work is the opportunity to facilitate the expression of service by a new generation of American and Chinese young people. Whether it is through an internship that allows a young American to work at a Chinese drug rehabilitation center, a scholarship that permits a Chinese student to finish his education, or a fellowship to
a young American lawyer to teach international law to Chinese students.
Outcomes:
Since 1998, Yale-China’s Service Internship Program has introduced Yale students to China’s rapidly-changing society and culture through structured, intensive, high-quality internship placements at nonprofit, non-governmental organizations and educational institutions in
mainland China and Hong Kong. The internships serve the dual purpose of introducing students to China and to service work while also enabling Yale-China to contribute to capacity-building in China’s nascent nonprofit sector.
The Yale University—New Asia College Undergraduate Exchange (YUNA) continues to change the perspectives of 16 different Yale and New Asia College undergraduates each year as they are brought together for an annual program that explores a common social, political, or cultural theme.
The Yale-China Scholarship Program provides scholarships to low-income students at Central South University, including Xiangya School of Medicine, and Hunan University.
The Yale- China Music Exchange (YUE or乐, meaning music) brought together young musicians from the United States and China for a series of concerts in Changsha, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the town of Xiuning in Anhui province from June 10 to 24, 2007.
