1. What is MCC? How do we know MCC?

MCC, My Culture Connect, also known as Taiwan Changhua County People‘s Teacher Education Association, was founded on January 1, 1998. It is a non-profit social organization with the purpose of training volunteer teachers to help in areas that lack educational resources, and improving the English education and global understanding of the Changhua area. Eric Berman, an ESL teacher of the Chinese Community Chinese School, is a volunteer English teacher of MCC. Thanks to his enthusiastic help, the Chinese school got to establish a connection with MCC. More information can be found on the following MCC Chinese and English websites.

2. Why do we establish the volunteer service partnership with MCC? What are the benefits for Chinese school students?

Being a part of the Chinese Community Center (CCC), CCC Chinese School is dedicated to the Chinese language education and cultural heritage of Chinese American’s young generation, the ultimate goal of Chinese school is serving the community and giving back to the society. As of that, the school administration team wants to seek more volunteer service opportunities for Chinese school students. MCC, which is also an NGO organization as CCC, is the partner we can find that fits the school's commission. Through MCC's voluntary program, Chinese school students will

Have the opportunity to use their English background and bilingual advantages to help the students in need, gain satisfaction and happiness in helping others.

Improve social skills, problem-solving skills, perseverance and the sense of responsibility when teaching and tutoring others in need.

Promote language and cultural exchanges. Taiwan is also the inheritor of Chinese Culture. For ABCs who grew up in the US, this volunteer opportunity will give them chances to know the life and culture of Chinese in “Global Village”. Furthermore, it may also boost their interest in Chinese language and culture as well.

Enrich their life experience by bringing a positive impact to others, which is a good plus to the future college application as well.

3. What kind of volunteer does the MCC English tutoring program need?
There is no age limit for this volunteer program. We believe that students who are caring, patient, responsible, and of course have a little free time (about 30 minutes to 1 hour per week) are qualified for this volunteer work. You can choose either 1-on-1 tutoring or co-teaching whichever fits for you. The videos below provide more information about this volunteer program, and will help you make the right decision.

For this partnership, MCC specially made an English video for Chinese schools. Introduction to the CCC Chinese School Volunteer Partnership with MCC Please watch the video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvQm_n2ozSI
