CantoGather is a Christian-affiliated Hong Kong charity working to form inclusive school communities through language and intercultural education. We work inside Chinese-medium primary schools, where many non-Chinese students and families face barriers to full participation in school life. Through small-group Cantonese learning, whole-school intercultural education, and parent engagement, we help non-Chinese students grow in Chinese language confidence, support students to build friendships across cultural differences, and strengthen connection between families and schools.

You should have:
● excellent written and spoken English and Cantonese
● clear, warm, and professional communication
● strong attention to detail and follow-through
