Volunteering at The Panda Centers in China

Few things are as delightful as observing the wonders of the Giant Panda first hand.  Even though Pandas International is located in Littleton, Colorado (a suburb of Denver) and not in China, we CAN offer experience-based advice on volunteering opportunities with the pandas for the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Pandas (CCRCGP).  The Bifengxia Panda Center is currently NOT accepting visitors and due to the 2008 Earthquake, the Wolong center is closed to volunteers until construction of the new center is completed and the volunteer program is reinstated.  The Bifengxia Panda Center is still open to the public to see the Pandas and the Dujiangyan Panda Center is open for Volunteering.

Depending on the time of year and the tour you select, volunteer service will cost approximately $100 per day (700RMB).  In order to volunteer,  you should be in generally good health and the Panda Center requires you to have a medical form filled out prior to arriving. The Dujiangyan Panda Center or Pandas International can e-mail you the medical form.   Children under the age of 10 are generally not allowed to volunteer.

Remember if you are hurt or injured, neither the Panda Center nor Pandas International is responsible/liable. We suggest you consider travel insurance.
