The Home & Youth Affairs Bureau (HYAB) today launched a new round of the HYAB - United Nations Volunteer Internship Programme and invited local undergraduate students to apply.

The programme provides local undergraduate students with valuable six-month volunteer internships within various United Nations (UN) overseas field units.

Interns will develop their personal skills and gain insights into global issues while contributing to the international community as Chinese youth volunteers.

The new round will offer a total of 20 internship placements in different UN agencies located in the Belt & Road region, including Kazakhstan, Laos, Nepal, Thailand, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

Running from July to December 2026, the volunteer internships will cover specific areas such as health and education, environment and innovation management.

Applicants should be full-time undergraduate students at local universities.

The bureau will provide full funding, including round-trip air tickets and monthly living allowances, and offer suitable pre-departure training for participants in collaboration with the Agency for Volunteer Service.

The application deadline is noon on January 16, 2026.
