Since 2021, Cambodian Youth Action (CYA) has been partnering with
Development for Cambodian Children (DCC), sending international
and local volunteers to support their impactful community programs.
Volunteers play a vital role in teaching English, leading sports
activities, promoting rainforest conservation, and engaging in various
community development initiatives.

DCC empowers over 200 local children and teenagers through
education, environmental projects, and sports. Programs include
English, computer, and coding classes, along with activities that
promote sustainability such as trash management workshops and
forest preservation. Volunteers also contribute to social support
efforts, including food distribution and housing assistance for families
in need.

Through this collaboration, volunteers help foster lifelong skills,
environmental responsibility, and community resilience—creating a
meaningful impact for both students and the broader community.
