Chinese School Andover is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization. Our mission is to promote Chinese Culture, to spread the diversity spectrum and awareness through learning of Chinese Language and Chinese Culture. CSA will award credits to CSA volunteers for their volunteer services performed within or outside CSA. Volunteers will earn 1 credit hour for each hour of service. We will however not award any credits for services that are for for-profit organizations or provide little or no direct benefits to the communities that CSA serves. This credit rule also applies to other non profit organizations if a CSA volunteer is applying for PVSA through CSA.

CSA will reserve the rights to grant limited number of Awards based on the number of applications, qualifications, seniority in school and other factors.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
CSA
