To give young people a chance to become more involved in environmental issues, Chinese Environmental NGOs Online is hosting an opportunity to "Interview NGOs in My Hometown."

"When you enter university, you always have a chance to join an environmental society and start participating in a non-governmental organization," says the organization. "With the winter holiday coming up, if you are still interested in this particular group, you can get in touch with the local NGOs in your hometown."

They are looking for young people who:

1. are willing to learn about the environment and the NGOs in their hometown;

2. can take responsibilities and finish the job properly;

3. want to engage in protecting the environment;

4. wish to dedicate their time to recording the situation of their local NGOs.
