Volunteer with Local NGOs 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.

Southeast Asia Semester | Carpe Diem Education Gap Year

A region accentuated by the colorful robes of Buddhist monks, the vivid greens of rice fields and jungle forests, and the cultural diversity of hill tribe communities—this is the ultimate Southeast Asia semester. Each country offers a unique cultural experience unto itself, and each faces the challenge of reconciling urban expansion and industrialization with indigenous land rights, free movement of nomadic peoples, and equal access to resources. This semester, walk among ancient temples, traverse mountainous jungles, and explore the clear blue water of Thailand’s beaches. You’ll explore tradition, globalization, and human rights against the backdrop of two of Asia’s most complex nations. Immerse yourself in community life through homestays and visits to remote villages. Emerge with your self-awareness and perspective forever altered. 2025: CLOSED Spring 2026: February 25 - May 6 Fall 2026: September 24 - December 4
