Volunteer With Us
In respect for our community support effort, priority is given to Cambodian staff. However, if any particular set of skills is not available within our community, we will accept foreign volunteers to fulfill it.
NDCCO focuses on recruiting skilled volunteers to assist us in our ongoing development towards a sustainable organization.
We welcome people from all backgrounds over 21 years old.
Volunteering at NDCCO is an extremely rewarding experience, however it can also be very challenging. Before you start working as a volunteer, you will be asked to sign our code of conduct.
If you are enthusiastic, committed, and have a flexible attitude everything will be fine!
We always do a background check on the volunteers. That’s part of our child protection policy. So, don’t be surprised if you are asked some questions, or for recommendations from people who know you.
Your role
At the moment, we are mostly looking for English teacher volunteers.
You will assist our Khmer teachers with the day-to-day lessons under their supervision. They will guide you into assisting and becoming involved with the students.
You will also take the lead by teaching your own lessons specifically aimed at developing listening and speaking skills.
We encourage you to come up with games, competitions, role-play, stories about yourself and your life at home in order to provoke curiosity, promote interaction and engage students in fun lessons. And if you are up to it you can also set up arts, crafts and sports activities.
Your skills
We only accept volunteers with relevant experience or training in teaching English. While, obviously, you have to speak English fluently, you do not have to be a native speaker.
You must be enthusiastic, committed and have a flexible attitude. Also showing patience and smiling will go along way here in Cambodia!
What we can offer you
As an NGO, we thrive on spending most of our funds on our programs, meaning we can not pay you for your work at NDCCO, your accommodation or any other costs related to your stay with us. But, to make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, we can offer you the following:
discount price for tuk-tuk drive to and from your accommodations.
recommendations to a few select guesthouses with special discount price just for you.
valuable advice and trip organization, we can even tailor any trip to your liking.
a rewarding experience and a lot of memories!
If you want to volunteer at our school, we would love to hear from you. You can also contact us if you have any questions.
