Volunteer Placement Program
KNGO Cambodia has now reopened following closure during the COVID pandemic and is welcoming volunteers back to support the school and students.
What We Need
We are seeking volunteers to assist our Khmer teachers with our English Literacy program regardless of whether you have teaching experience or not. Volunteers must be able to speak conversational English. The interaction volunteers have with our students makes a huge impact on their development. Special skills, eg art, music, sport, IT etc are always an advantage. Volunteers in the areas of admin, community welfare and maintenance are also welcome. Groups and families will be considered.
Length of stay
We would prefer volunteers to stay for a period of 1 month, however we will consider a 2 week stay as a minimum. Longer stays will also be considered. Please contact us for availability with details of your preferred duration of stay.
Placement Donations
KNGO receives NO government funding and relies on donations and other fundraising activities to provide a sustainable program in the local community.
The Volunteer donations help to sustain our free educational program for poor students in the rural community of Odambang 1. A donation of US$100 will support a student in our education program for approx 1 year. Without access to this free supplementary education, many poor students will drop out of the education system altogether as they struggle to receive adequate tuition.
A placement donation of US$120 for the first month (or part there-of) is requested from all volunteers.
Many volunteers choose to fundraise prior to leaving their home country to raise the required funds. If we can help in any way, please let us know. We would be happy to provide brochures and whatever else we can do to assist.
If the placement donation is pre-paid in Australia or Germany, a tax deduction may be applicable for residents of those countries. Please contact by email for further details:
