Hosting Organisation
The Volunteer Camp will be hosted by the CYA-Learning Center (CLC), founded in 2014 to teach English to local children. Since then the Center has grown from a simple bamboo classroom into a vibrant hub with modern classrooms, a library, and a computer center. Thanks to our dedicated national and international volunteers, CLC now offers diverse learning opportunities alongside life-skill activities like gardening, soap-making, and renovation projects that promote sustainability and community growth. CLC’s story is a powerful example of volunteerism and collaboration driving lasting change.
Activities involved
At CLC, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in diverse, meaningful activities, including:
- Teach English & Digital literacy: Help children and teenagers improve their English skills through fun, interactive lessons.
- Lead Creative Workshops: Share your knowledge through soap-making, public speaking, personal development, and self-discipline workshops.
- Promote Health & Morality: Teach essential life lessons on hygiene, health, and moral values.
- Cultural Exchange: Dive into Cambodian culture by participating in local traditions, festivals, and cooking activities with the community.
- School Improvement: Take part in renovating school facilities, painting classrooms, and enhancing learning spaces.
Volunteering at CLC is more than just teaching! It’s a journey of friendship, cultural exchange, and community impact. Whether you’re leading a workshop, renovating classrooms, or simply sharing stories, every moment you spend here leaves a lasting legacy.
Accommodation & Food
Volunteers will stay together in a shared volunteer house located inside the CYA- Learning Center, creating a warm community atmosphere. There is no chef— volunteers will be divided into small cooking teams, taking turns to prepare meals, serve, clean, and wash dishes. It’s a fun way to share cultures, try new recipes, and enjoy meals together as part of the experience.
