About Program
Guizhou Forerunner College is the first and only non-profit college in China. It is founded under faith-love-hope foundation under VIA technologies. The school aims to provide quality higher education to underprivileged Chinese rural students in Guizhou, the province with the lowest per capita GDP.
Since the beginning of the school in 2011, we have emphasized on broadening the students’ worldviews. Every year we have around 30 volunteers from all over the world on campus to help these students.
In the summer we offer the special opportunity of a combined internship/study abroad opportunity. You can come here spend several weeks as a full time intern and join our 1-week, 2-week or 4-week summer study programs. You will get to teach and help the local students, assist in the admin work of the college and enjoy splendid ethnic culture of Guizhou, and learn Chinese language and take courses on Chinese culture in English.
