Be A Panda Volunteer in Panda's Hometown in Chengdu

Our panda volunteer activities will give you a chance to touch the national treasure from a distance! -- You'll be able to take care of and interact with the giant pandas. 

Your responsibilities will include feeding the panda, cleaning the bamboo and enclosure, bathing a panda, weighing the bamboo (to determine how much they should eat). All the other responsibilities that being a panda keeper would entail.  
 

Our panda volunteer program offers our guests a complete day experience of taking care of the lovely pandas at the Chengdu panda book centers located in Dujiangyan.   
 

With a short training by the professional care professionals, the volunteers will begin cleaning pandas' homes like custodians, preparing lunch for the pandas, and feeding the pandas. After the lunch break, the volunteers will clean up pandas' mess and get ready for their mid-day desert and feed the pandas once again. The volunteers will receive the certificates to show off of having worked for the charming pandas for their lifetimes. The whole volunteer work is from 9 am to 4:30 pm. So, this is a full-day experience.

 Younger youngsters under 12 are not allowed to work as volunteers. However, they do not have to feel bored.
