Ambright Education Group's Ambassador Year in China program (AYC) is a program that helps college graduates expand their horizons and enhance their careers by spending one academic year teaching, studying, and making a difference in placement sites across China. Some participants treat it as a way to launch a career abroad or as a language teacher; others think of it more as a gap year.

Eligibility: Native English speaker (with U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, Republic of Ireland or New Zealand Passport); Bachelor’s degree or higher. Application: Apply online.

Deadline: June 30, 2024; however, the earlier you apply, the greater the chance AYC will be able to accommodate for your location/grade preference.
