Your Volunteer Experience
During your stay in Cambodia you will experience life in the heart of a local village where you will be able to indulge yourself with the local traditions. We ask for around 24 hours per week which will give you lots of free time to explore the area. Siem Reap has lots of attractions including the famous temples of Angkor Wat, the floating village, Kulen mountain as well as many others.

Volunteer Teaching
At ECC we pride ourselves on being a 100% volunteer run project. Without you, the volunteers, none of this would be possible.
As a new volunteer in Cambodia you will be paired with another volunteer with experience for classes and government text books will be provided for you to follow the countries curriculum along with flashcards and other pre-planned activities. Our previous volunteers have put a lot of thought into helping the next generation of volunteers easily integrate into our project so it doesn’t get overwhelming. We want your volunteer teaching experience to be a memory that will last a lifetime.
Such a nice experience. Starting with the Anthony, what he is doing there is amazing he has a big compromise with the organization and that people depend of him. Shared with kids and local people is one of the best experience ever recommended 100%.
I only spent two weeks here but would’ve spent so much longer if I could! Could not recommend this experience more highly – the kids are so sweet and full of life, and most of them really eager to learn. You very much learn on the job from the other volunteers how to best teach and engage the kids, and by the end of your time you are teaching the next lot of volunteers, so it’s an excellent opportunity to improve leadership skills as well as building patience, empathy and effective teaching skills. Anthony the host is so passionate about the organization, so easy to talk to and willing to help.
I really enjoyed my time at the organization Siem Reap. Amazing experience living in Cambodian countryside with local family. Opportunity to meet lots of international volunteers and have fun with the kids at school.
It was my first volunteering experience and I loved it so much! I’ve my practiced my English as well, communicating with other volunteers. I was teaching English before, but it was my first experience teaching English in English ! It was a little bit challenging sometimes, but definitely incredible experience! I loved the organization so much and I even extended my stay though before coming was thinking «2 weeks! – it’s too much» But no, time really flies! Food is good, don’t worry! & all basic amenities! You’ll have a great time! & also a lot of time to explore surroundings ! Hope to come back again! Thanks!
