About GMIA

Benefits

In return for your contribution of time and effort, we will offer you the following exciting opportunities and benefits:

· An official GMIA certificate is issued to award you for contribution over 100 hours. Your skills in organising, team-working, communicating and time-management will be formally and clearly recognised. Moreover, the charitable nature of GMIA will help convince your future employer that you are a responsible and conscientious social citizen.

· Being a member of GMIA, you will be provided with plenty of networking opportunities with artists, conservationists, businesses, universities, governments, and media, etc. Equally importantly, this wide social exposure will help you adjust quickly to the work place once you start a full-time job.

· Two major communicating tools for GMIA are English and Chinese; therefore, by working with us, your bilingual advantage will be fully utilized and strengthened. 

· GMIA is serving as a bridge between China and the international world, which enhances members' cultural awareness and international perspectives.

· Reference letter is available upon request. Trustees of GMIA are leading experts/professionals in conservation, sustainable energy and financial services in China/UK.

· Participation in the projects brings you the most up-to-date information on the developments in the remote areas in China and keeps you connected with them, providing especially rewarding experiences for Chinese students and graduates currently overseas and for those seeking opportunities of learning the Chinese language, cultures and economic development.

· After the first 100 hours of committed work for GMIA, you may start to understand better your life goals, develop an ability to inspire others and to see from the businesses' and the society's perspectives, choose your career path or fields of further study rather than being passively chosen, and see where you fit best so as to bring the best out of yourself to do the most for the world.

· Last but not least, GMIA will keep you abreast with the future, because the major topic for the next ten years or more is sustainable development such as promoting clean energy and reflecting upon the human's impact on the planet.
