• Hands On Shanghai, for the past year been working
  with various members of Shanghai to fully
  understand and develop programming to address the
  needs of Shanghais 400,000 migrant school
  children who are studying in one of the areas
  350 migrant schools.
• For many, attending privately run migrant schools
  has long been their only choice as
• Fees at Shanghai public schools are seen as too
  high
• the schools are often located farther from home
  than migrant schools
• The Children prefer studying with other migrant
  children
• With this in mind, Hands on Shanghai has begun
  working with several schools (Pudong and Puxi) to
  implement holistic programs to improve the
  conditions within these schools
• 1. Improve infrastructure (painting, library
  donation, sports equipment)
• 2. Mentoring programs (1-on-1 partnerships
  between volunteer and tutor)
• 3. Tutoring and club programs (English, math,
  and science tutoring/ sports clubs, music clubs
  ,and art clubs)

Corpworks! ProposalAdopt A School program

• Adopt A School program is a holistic approach
  that would help the schools to improve the
  education offered to migrant children.
• The characteristics of such a program would be as
  follows
• Infrastructural Improvements
• To start off any program, Hands On Shanghai
  believes that large group activities work best to
  build the bonds between team members, and between
  volunteers and the school. This is critical as
  it builds a sense of ownership, and gets people
  excited.
• During these events, up to 100 members can
  participate at a time, and for the CI team we
  would look to add plant visits and off-site field
  trips as well
• 2. Rising Star Mentor Program
• To create strong ties between two people is to
  create real impact, and Hands On Shanghai
  believes that the deeper the impact, the better.
  Therefore, Hands On Shanghai will work with a
  team of 10-15 deeply committed volunteers who are
  willing to volunteer twice a month with the same
  child to develop strong bonds and have a lasting
  friendship

that would help the schools to improve the

follows 3. English, Math, and Science
Tutoring The goal of all school is to teach, and
unfortauntely, some children have a hard time
keeping up in the classes. Therefore, to support
the educational needs of the students, tutoring
sessions in English, Math , and Science will be
offered on a weekly basis (15 volunteer
opportunities available every week) 4. Sports
and Interest Clubs To create confidence among
students, and give students a break from their
studies, Hands On Shanghai has built a system of
sports and interest clubs for the children to
participate in. (10 volunteer opportunities
every week)
