Volunteer Programme to Cambodia

Organisation:
BUNAC

Location:
Siem Reap, Cambodia

Details:
BUNAC's Volunteer Cambodia programme offers you the chance to spend twelve weeks working on a project in Siem Reap. BUNAC will liaise with their local representative to arrange your placement which can vary depending on the skills of the volunteer and the needs of the community at the time of the programme.

Placements are unpaid and last for 12 weeks with a three day welcome orientation on arrival. Accommodation, in a local guest house, is included as part of the placement and is covered by the programme costs. However, volunteers will be responsible for arranging their own meals.

Eligibility:
To apply to Volunteer Cambodia, you must be:

  • a current university level student, a graduate or a non-student
  • aged 18+
  • a British or Irish citizen resident in the UK or Ireland

Previous work abroad experience is preferred but not essential.

Cost:
The programme registration fee for Volunteer Cambodia is currently £695. This covers the cost of the three day arrival orientation, guest house accommodation on arrival, programme literature, the support services of BUNAC and the local host organisation for the duration of the programme, placement and your accommodation whilst working.

Participants also need to find the cost of the return flight (approximately £800) and take out Insurance (currently £113 for three month’s coverage). You will also need at least £600 in support funds to cover the cost of food and local travel.

All costs will be confirmed upon acceptance to the programme.

Departure Dates:
Enquire with BUNAC.
