Description

We currently have opportunities to teach conversational English through our partner organization in Cambodia. This will allow you to help students improve their English skills while at the same time immersing yourself in urban Cambodian life.

The Program

Volunteers work as language teachers in a school project which provides affordable conversational English language courses for students. The aim of this project is to raise money for a local NGO working to improve livelihoods in rural communities in Cambodia. Students pay a small fee to attend the classes. In the past, the money raised by the language centre has been used to improve water and sanitation; for small livestock and agriculture production; and for community environmental awareness in rural Cambodia.

 
Cost Details
A US$97application fee will secure your place on the program. You only pay your application fee once and then you can access any of GVN's volunteer programs over the next 5 years. Once your application fee is paid the remainder of the cost for your time in the Cambodia program is the US $1997 program fee for 13 weeks. This program fee includes the following benefits: * In-Country Support * 24hr Emergency Line * Membership To The Change Makers Club * Letter Of Completion
