Volunteer Info

We at SCD welcome volunteers with open arms! Since we opened in 2006, more than 350 visitors and volunteers have come to spend time with the children at the SCD orphanage, and each has left us richer for the experience.

The children love to meet new people, practice their English, and share their infectious smiles and laughter with everyone who comes to visit...so why not spend some time with us?

Orphanage Visits

Perhaps you wish to come to the SCD orphanage only for a few hours during the day while in the Phnom Penh area...and we are most happy to welcome you! You can tour the facility, meet some of the children (depending on the time of day and day of the week the children’s schedule varies), and share some of your time with them.

Volunteer Opportunities

Would you like to stay a little longer? Please do! We have simple guest accommodations for up to 4 people per night and invite you to feel at home.

As part of your stay, you can contribute to enriching the children’s lives in so many ways: help teach our English classes, get creative in the Handicrafts room, share the joy of reading in our library, play soccer/volleyball/tag/etc...the options are countless! And if you have technical computer skills or other skills that would be valuable for you to share, we would be delighted to learn from you.

Please contact us for more information or to schedule your visit. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
