The Development Instructor program is an 11-month training/practical program that where volunteers both learn and study about development on a theoretical level, as well as apply what they have learned in practice. One of YID’s fundamental principles is that all volunteers must learn by doing.
The 11 months is divided into:
* 5 months training at YID in Yuxi, Yunnan province, China
* 5 months practical period, where each volunteer is placed at one of YID’s or Humana People to People’s projects in Yunnan or Sichuan province
* 1 month of evaluation and conclusion
The projects where our volunteers work are mostly in rural Yunnan’s ethnic minority areas. Volunteers work together with local people to improve health, education, social, economic, and environmental conditions. Some of the projects that we work with include:
* Child Aid
* Farmer’s Clubs
* Preschools
* Community Ability Development
* Total Control of the Epidemic (HIV/AIDS awareness)
* Total Malaria Control
