Gender Issues Volunteering in Cambodia

IVHQ’s local organization cooperates with a network organization including 30+ local NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and other Cambodian towns, focusing on community & rural development, democracy development & gender issues. The organizations support the poorest of the poor & those who have become landless, offering capacity building opportunities & organizing advocacy for the reconstruction of the country. Local NGOs usually have very limited (if any) financial resources, & often struggle to run their programs & to raise funds from international donors. Many staff members are volunteers receiving no (or a very small) salary. All NGOs urgently need support in areas such as fundraising & proposal writing, organizational development, administration & research. For volunteers studying at a university it would be more of an internship experience as some professional development workers support some of our placements. Placements are offered in the following fields: Community development, Health/ HIV/Aids awareness, prevention & rehabilitation, Women & Child issues, Advocacy & Human Rights Issues, Environmental Issues, and Education.

Inspire, Educate & Empower Communities Across the World Are you passionate about education and cross-cultural exchange? Do you dream of making a positive impact while traveling the world? With Volunteering Journeys’ English Teaching Programs Abroad, you can inspire young minds, build confidence, and open opportunities for children and adults across Peru, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and the Maldives. Whether you’re a student on a gap year, a certified teacher, or simply a fluent English speaker looking to make a difference, teaching abroad is one of the most rewarding ways to contribute to global education while immersing yourself in fascinating cultures. In many developing regions, English proficiency opens the door to education, employment, and better economic opportunities. However, limited resources and teacher shortages often leave students without access to quality English education. By joining Volunteering Journeys’ teaching programs, you’ll help bridge this gap. You’ll work in local schools, community centers, or after-school programs — improving English literacy, conversational confidence, and cultural awareness.

Help kids in rural Cambodia grow and develop through Sports! Combine your passion for Sports and making a difference by volunteering at the Cambodia Sports Project. Help bring sporting opportunities to disadvantaged kids who would otherwise not have access to sport and physical education classes. As a sports volunteer abroad, you will work with local coaches delivering physical education classes and teach sports skills and techniques. In addition to making a positive impact on the lives of children living in poverty, volunteering abroad in sports can also be a great way to learn about new cultures, make new friends, and gain valuable experience and skills that can benefit you in your personal and professional life. We work with over 2000 children in rural farming villages. The project includes a 'goals for girls' element which encourages girls to be involved in sports and empowers them to become future leaders.
