We provide young people in China with the resources and community to create a reliable civil society. We select and mentor project leaders and teams who work on projects which are sustainable, measurably effective, and scalable in the future. These project leaders are called "NextLeaders". We spend much time providing continuous mentorship and guidance to all individuals working for and managed by us.
Most people want to improve the quality of their own lives and the lives of many others, many believe that a robust economy will satisfy this desire. However, many people overlook the fact that, besides a reliable economy, improving a population's living standards requires effective social services.When social services are available to those who need it, life as an ordinary person feels more manageable; when social services are unreliable, even life as a well-off person can feel uncertain.
We know China has enough resources to fund non-profit social programmes, but we lack the right people. This is why we invest in individuals, and not just their programmes. We are interested in all areas of social development, and aim to foster many individuals who have high-potential to develop as leaders in the non-profit sector. Through selection and evaluation, we select Chinese NGO leaders with the greatest potential.
By cultivating our NextLeaders, we can improve the Chinese public's sense of responsibility towards their society. We are also keen on influencing young people by telling the stories of our young NextLeaders. We will continue to lead exchanges of international perspectives, and promote the fusion of Chinese moral values with global humanitarian values. Meanwhile, we will encourage more Chinese youth to develop themselves into global leaders.

The Government of People’s Republic of China has implemented new regulations for foreign NGOs operating in China. GlobalGiving must receive Government approval before we can disburse funds to organizations registered in Mainland China. This means that the disbursement of your donation to this project may be slightly delayed while we obtain the appropriate approval.
