You're currently enrolled in college or graduate school. You're comfortable saying a few words in front of a class. You're curious about China, even if you've never been. You're reliable over email. That's how we confirm activities and credit your account. You don't need to speak Chinese or have studied at CLI. We'll cover what you need to know in training. Common questions Before you book a call Do I need to speak Chinese? No. Plenty of ambassadors have never studied Chinese. You just need to be able to explain why studying abroad is worth considering. How much time does this take? As little as an hour a month. There's no quota, and you choose which activities to take on. A class announcement takes about two minutes, plus the walk to the lecture hall. How and when do I get paid? After an activity, email us a quick proof. We usually review it within about a week and add the points to your account. Once a month, you can redeem them for cash through Zelle or for free one-on-one Chinese lessons. Do I have to have studied at CLI? No. CLI alumni often have an easier time at first because they can answer questions from experience. But you don't need to have studied at CLI. If you haven't, the training will give you the background you need. Is there a contract or a minimum term? No. There's no contract and no minimum term. If finals get busy, take the semester off and come back later. Or stop entirely. You'll keep any points you've already earned. What happens in the interview?
