EDUCATION PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT INTERNSHIP IN CAMBODIA

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

HELP DEVISE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO LIFT CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF POVERTY

Travel to Cambodia and take part in a holistic approach to community uplift. You’ll get to see what it’s like to develop educational programs in a nonprofit context, whilst helping children and their families to break the cycle of poverty.

This internship places you with a social impact nonprofit that works to break the cycle of poverty and reduce the socio-economic gap in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Operating from their own educational center, this organization runs a range of programs equipping children and their families with the life-skills they need to have a prosperous future. Working on a small-scale, they take an all-rounded approach to their work, enrolling not just children, but their whole families. Once enrolled, children and their families receive holistic support ensuring both their long-term and day-to-day needs are met.

Your role will be to assist their local team to help maintain and develop their educational programs. Whilst this is an education internship, you’ll spend less time in the classroom and more time working behind the scenes. You’ll work on curriculum development, producing training materials, and finding other NGOs to partner with. It’ll give you a comprehensive overview of the unique challenges of running nonprofit educational programs and insight into what it takes to create long-lasting social change.
