Program Overview

Cambodia is a must-visit destination in Southeast Asia and an incredible place to explore. Whether you’re on a gap year, an aspiring professional, or a teen looking for the summer of a lifetime, our programs offer total cultural immersion. From our home base in the electric streets of Phnom Penh to the ancient history of Angkor Wat, you’ll experience the heart of the "Kingdom of Wonder" firsthand.

Shadow doctors in bustling clinics, protect elephants in the jungle, or support early childhood development through teaching and childcare projects. You’ll live an authentic experience through fascinating workshops and visits to the Killing Fields and Angkor Wat. When you aren't making a real-world impact, you’ll be snorkeling the coral reefs of the Koh Rong island paradise, exploring the Mekong River by boat, and tasting Khmer curry.

With our legendary local staff providing 24/7 support, you can share this journey with new friends from around the world as you navigate Cambodia’s culture and create lifelong memories.

Best trip of my life!

I had the absolute best time in Cambodia. I have only been outside of Europe once before this in my life and Cambodia was definitely the best choice. I loved all of the other volunteers and all the kids at the school were amazing. We had really good staff there that really cared about the well-being of us volunteers. Truly the best trip of my life.

Fast fashion awareness in Cambodia

My week spent in Cambodia was a hugely eye opening experience and allowed me to gain a real life insight into how clothes are made on a fast fashion and slow fashion scale. As a consumer, it has further encouraged me to make more conscious decisions about buying clothes after seeing for myself the conditions factory workers live in and having conversations with them about their work environment. I would recommend this to anyone - it is a great way to educate yourself and others on sustainable fashion.

A trip i’ll never forget

Going into the school and meeting the kids was incredible. everyone there was so friendly, kind and would go out of their way to help you. seeing how different the kids classrooms and schooling environment to mine was eye opening. for anyone who has a passion for helping kids, or is happy to make a change for the better, i can’t recommend my experience more.

Most definitely going back! So organised, welcoming and impactful!

My Projects Abroad experience was such a well-organised, enlightening trip where I not only got to make a genuine impact on the local community but also got to meet other volunteers from around the world. There was a perfect balance of construction work, teaching, and even tourism, definitely something for everyone! I also loved Cambodia as a place. The culture and history there were amazing to be immersed in. Even if you go into the program with no prior knowledge of the location, I can assure you will go home begging to go back.
