Volunteer opportunity to work in some of Cambodia’s poorest communities

In Cambodia, ICS runs projects in the north-eastern part of the country.  Together with 12 other young Cambodians, you will spend three months working alongside twelve youth from the United Kingdom (UK) in a team to tackle issues that really matter to the local community. We are currently recruiting for our next cycle, which will start in march 2015. Please visit http://www.volunteerics.org/vso-cambodia for more information on the program.

ICS is an opportunity to develop valuable life skills and gain some amazing experiences. As an ICS volunteer, you will:

• Develop skills in English language, teamwork, communication, monitoring and evaluation,  problem-solving, leadership, (project) management, facilitation, presentation skills, field work, and writing reports
• Live alongside a counterpart from the UK in a host home in the community and gain more understanding about cross culture communication
• Receive a monthly allowance of $US 128 (plus medical insurance and accommodation)
• Receive a certificate of completion at the end (useful for your future career)

To apply you will need to be:

• 18-29 years of age
• Flexible, open-minded and with a strong commitment to learning
• Healthy, fit, and able to commit to an active 3 month volunteering experience
• Have basic verbal English language skills and be willing to improve during the programme
• Able to commit to be away from home and participate full time in the programme for  12 weeks
