KNGO 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

When we need volunteers

Volunteering is possible any time except April. In April we are closed due to national holiday. Please feel free to contact us for availability and your travel arrangements..

Length of stay

We would prefer volunteers to stay as long as possible to help with activities at KNGO. However, in order for a good relationship to be developed between volunteers, teachers and students, we require a commitment of 1 week minimum. Please contact us (via our application form or by email) for availability and your preferred duration of stay. .

Placement Donation

KNGO receives no government funding and relies on donations and other fundraising activities to provide a sustainable program in our local community. Any volunteer donations help to sustain our free educational program for poor students in the rural community of Odambang 1.

A donation of USD100 would support a student in our education program for approximately 1 year. Students who have dropped out of school can be helped to re-attend with KNGO supplementary classes.

In Australia and Germany, receipts can be provided for tax purposes if required. Please contact us for further details.
