The CYA-Learning Center (CLC), founded in
2014 to teach English to local children, has
grown from a simple bamboo classroom into
a vibrant hub with modern classrooms, a
library, and a computer center.

Thanks to dedicated national and international volunteers, CLC now
offers diverse learning opportunities alongside life-skill activities like
gardening, soap-making, and renovation projects that promote
sustainability and community growth.
CLC’s story is a powerful example of volunteerism and collaboration
driving lasting change. Join us and be part of this journey—your time and
skills can help create brighter futures and a lasting legacy of hope.

Join over 150 passionate volunteers from around the world each year and make a
real difference in the lives of local children and youth! At CLC, you’ll have the
opportunity to engage in diverse, meaningful activities, including:

Teach English & Digital literacy:
Help children and teenagers
improve their English skills
through fun, interactive lessons.

Lead Creative Workshops: Share your knowledge through soap-making, public speaking, personal development, and self-discipline workshops.

Promote Health & Morality:
Teach essential life lessons on
hygiene, health, and moral
values.

Cultural Exchange: Dive into
Cambodian culture by participating
in local traditions, festivals, and
cooking activities with the
community.

School Improvement: Take part
in renovating school facilities,
painting classrooms, and
enhancing learning spaces.

Organize Study Trips: Plan and
accompany students on exciting
educational field trips.

Cook & Share Meals: Prepare and enjoy meals
with CLC children, creating special connections
through food.

Volunteering at CLC is more than just teaching—it's a journey of friendship,
cultural exchange, and community impact. Whether you’re leading a workshop,
renovating classrooms, or simply sharing stories, every moment you spend here
leaves a lasting legacy.

Volunteers will stay together in a shared volunteer house located inside the CYA-

Learning Center, creating a warm community atmosphere. There is no chef—
volunteers will be divided into small cooking teams, taking turns to prepare meals,
serve, clean, and wash dishes. It’s a fun way to share cultures, try new recipes, and
enjoy meals together as part of the experience.

Techo International Airport is the nearest Terminal for volunteer applying for CYA -
Learning Center project. The info-sheet with the detail arrangement of meeting
point, transportation from airport - project site will be provided.

All volunteers will have free weekends to explore tourist attraction spots such as
Teuk Chhou, Bokor National Park, Rabbit Island, and more. Since CLC is located in a
spacious, remote area, your free time isn’t limited to travel—you can also engage
with local people, teenagers, and children by organizing fun activities or cultural
exchanges.
