Product Details

Cambodia is fast becoming one of the hottest destinations in South East Asia. This beautiful and friendly country is now moving on from its troubled past and the Volunteer Cambodia programme will give you the opportunity to become fully immersed in Cambodian life and culture.

Placements last for either 8, 12 or 16 weeks and are in or around the town of Siem Reap, the gateway for the World-famous temples of Ankor Wat. You will initially attend an interview and BUNAC will then liaise with our local co-operator to arrange your placement depending on your interests, skills and experience and the needs of the community at the time of the programme. Placements include teaching English to classes of children in local schools, leading extra-curricular activities at a nearby Children’s Centre, and educating tourists about the effect of mines at a Landmine Museum.

Once your placement is complete you will have the opportunity to explore the rest of Cambodia and South East Asia, including Vietnam and Thailand which are right on Cambodia’s doorstep.

Programme costs start from £595 for 8 weeks and include full pre-departure advice and support, a three day arrival orientation including tours and accommodation, guest house accommodation for the duration of the programme (includes breakfast) and full support from BUNAC's local partner organisation for the duration of your stay.

Our users say...

"My experience in Cambodia was one of the best of my life. I worked between 4 and 7 hours each day in a small school in Siam Reap where I helped students to learn spoken and written English. I found the placement incredibly rewarding, seeing the students so happy and eager to learn everyday. Even the smallest things that I was able to do made me feel like I had achieved and given so much.

I stayed in a small guest house very close to the school where I worked. It was clean, friendly and because it was family-run really felt like a second home to me. BUNAC and their local partner organisation Interweave helped me a lot with the integration into the Cambodian culture, and after a couple of weeks many aspects of daily life became second nature. As my placement progressed, I was treated less like a tourist and more like a local, which also made a big difference to me.

I have come back to the UK after this amazing experience a much more confident person and now feel ready to take on anything that crosses my path. I’m so glad I chose to volunteer in Cambodia and thankful to BUNAC for their help and support.
