A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Phnom Penh
How to Volunteer in Phnom Penh
When you volunteer abroad in Phnom Penh, you’ll gain hands-on experience that will make for an impressive resume (some volunteer programs even double as internship placements!). Not to mention you’ll be making a difference. Cambodia’s capital city offers a plethora opportunities in a variety of areas for volunteers from reforestation to construction to legal matters and more.
Popular causes/projects in Phnom Penh. Unfortunately, poverty in Phnom Penh is prevalent with a high youth population, and healthcare and education are lacking. English teachers are in high demand, orphanages desperately need more assistance, and public health workshops need lecturers. Cambodia also suffers from high illiteracy rates and high HIV/AIDS cases, so you can also assist in fighting these problems.
Short term volunteer programs in Phnom Penh. If you’re short on time and looking to save money, many weekly, monthly, and summer programs are available, especially in social work. For those interested in summer programs, just an FYI: The climate in Phnom Penh is fairly hot and humid all year with the rainy season running from May to October. It’s recommended, however, for volunteers to stay long as possible to maximize their impact and for cultural immersion.
Long term volunteer projects in Phnom Penh. By staying longer than six months to a year or multiple years, you’ll get the most out of your Cambodian riels. With short-term programs you only see the culture on the surface, but by staying longer, you delve deep into learning about this country from a local’s perspective. You’ll also have more opportunities to travel to neighboring countries and practice the local language of Khmer.
