ABSTRACT: This study focuses on volunteer service activities among nursing students from ethnic minorities in China, providing an in-depth analysis of the current challenges faced by these activities and their underlying causes. Based on thorough research and literature review, we have identified key factors that hinder the sustainable development of volunteer services, including communication barriers stemming from cultural differences, resource scarcity, and insufficient professional quality of volunteer teams. To effectively address these challenges, this study proposes a series of coping strategies, including enhancing cross-cultural communication training to improve volunteers’ understanding and recognition of ethnic minority cultures, actively seeking social and financial support to alleviate resource shortages, and strengthening volunteer recruitment and training efforts to upgrade team professionalism and service capabilities. To demonstrate these strategies, the case of the Baige Youth Volunteer Service Society of the Nursing School at Wenzhou Medical University is introduced. Through the implementation of these strategies, we aim to promote the sustainable development of volunteer service activities among ethnic minority nursing students. Under the guidance of China’s excellent traditional culture, we also aspire to explore more locally suitable volunteer service models, thus making significant contributions to the advancement of volunteer service initiatives.
