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.
(see our Volunteer Information Guide for more information)
When we need volunteers
Ideally, our volunteer program will commence on the 1st Monday of each month (exluding April). However, please contact us for availability of other dates if this doesn’t suit your travel arrangements.
Do we require a minimum duration?
We would prefer volunteers to stay for a period of 4 weeks, however we will consider a 2 week stay as a minimum. Longer stays will also be considered. Please contact us for availability and your preferred duration of stay.
What we Provide
This volunteer program is a cultural experience and you will become an integral member of the KNGO team. You will be:
Donations
As KNGO receives no government funding and provides a free education for our students, a donation of US$350 for 4 weeks (US$250 for 2 weeks) is requested from volunteers. This helps to maintain the free education for our students on an ongoing basis.
Many volunteers opt 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.
In Australia, receipts can be provided for tax purposes if required. Please contact us for further details.
