AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP MENTAL OR PHYSICAL CARE PROGRAMS
Travel to Cambodia and help an organization offer comprehensive mental, medical, and social support to families who are in the process of breaking the cycle of poverty. This is a versatile internship, ideal for the young psychologist, social worker, or medic who’s ready to use their initiative and expertise to help make a difference in the world.
You’ll work with an organization dedicated to reducing poverty in Siem Reap through a variety of integrated programs revolving around the core offerings of education, nutrition and health. When a child is enrolled, the organization provides all-rounded support to the child’s family. Their goal is to provide children with quality education and a safe space to learn and grow so that they can find fair employment in adulthood.
As an intern, you’ll be working to maintain and develop the organization’s mental or physical development programs and assisting their local team of social workers. Your internship experience will help fill in gaps in skills and knowledge among their local team, introduce new practices and structure regarding mental health care and social work support.
This organization is a social impact nonprofit focussed on breaking the cycle of poverty and reducing the socio-economic gap in Siem Reap, Cambodia through education. REACH Siem Reap provides English classes alongside a range of 12 integrated programs.
They take a more holistic approach to most education initiatives and when enrolling children into their school they provide their families with all-rounded support. Their aim is to provide children with both quality education and a safe environment to grow so that one day they can find fair employment and break free from poverty.
This is the ideal internship for the intern ready to assist the local team of social workers to continue developing the Outreach program. This will include monitoring progress of programs, devising development strategies, and training staff members.

Most notably, Siem Reap is home to the renowned Angkor Wat temples pictured on Cambodia’s flag.
