Volunteer with the SHCC

The Self Help Community Centre is a Cambodian NGO with all Khmer employees. It is our goal to make our project sustainable by strengthening the skills of our Cambodian team. We welcome both Cambodian and International volunteers who have a range of skills, ideas, experience and knowledge in teaching, social work, HR, business, IT support, creative arts, music, sports, organic farming, administration and any other backgrounds that may be beneficial to our community and school. While the time a volunteer stays varies greatly, we have found the longer the stay the better. It provides the kids with much needed stability and consistency; 2-3 months seems to work well. Successful applicants will need to provide a scanned image of their passport, relevant references, a police check from their country of residence and abide by our strict Child Protection Policy. The reasons for this are obvious. South-East Asia is sadly a breeding ground for child sex-crime and paedophilia and protecting our children is our highest priority. Unlike some volunteering programs, the SHCC do not ask for any mandatory donations but simply ask for your valuable time and help. We also help to organise accommodation for your stay we have several partners, including Jasmine Lodge, to make sure your stay is both comfortable and affordable.
