Pros
The foundation is large in scale and implements many meaningful programs. I’m working on the “Ameson Year in China” (AYC) program and have witnessed how AYCers are making a difference in China. Since its first year, AYCers have provided roughly 750,000 Chinese students with English instruction. The alumni participants will soon be over 400, and this will be a growing network that can contribute to lasting friendship and professional career building.
Cons
Because AYC is a new program, there are some communication problems between the foundation, participants and schools.
Ameson Response

Our difficulties in the area of communication taught us a lot this year. We recognize the need for additional program staff, even though the increased costs are borne by the Ameson Foundation. We have expanded our bilingual staff and are overhauling our communication protocol.
AYC has maintained open lines of communication and has consistently encouraged participants with host-school problems to contact our office in Shanghai for assistance. We maintain a 24/7 emergency hotline, and our contact information can be found in the signature of each email sent to participants.
As an intern, I am given challenging tasks to apply what I have learned in class to practice based on my personal interest and professional education.
My supervisor gives me many useful suggestions on my work and allows me to explore potential ability.
The working environment is nice and colleagues are collaborating with each other.
Cons
Due to the lack of HR support, there is not much training provided.
You should be self-motivated if you want to learn more from internship.
